Delhi’s Air Quality Worsens Post-Diwali Celebrations

The national capital witnessed a sharp dip in air quality following the Diwali festivities. The Air Quality Index (AQI) spiked to hazardous levels, crossing the 400 mark in various parts of Delhi and neighboring areas. The spike has reignited debates about pollution control measures and the effectiveness of current restrictions on firecrackers. Authorities urged residents to minimize outdoor activities and deployed anti-smog guns in high-pollution zones to mitigate the immediate impact.
