Delhi Expands Air Quality Monitoring Amid Persistent Poor Pollution Levels

Delhi recently expanded its air quality monitoring network by adding six new stations, increasing the total to 46. Early data suggests these new stations, located in relatively greener areas like JNU and IGNOU, have only marginally affected the city's average AQI. Despite warmer weather and clearer skies, air quality remains poor in many parts of Delhi, with some areas like Anand Vihar recording AQI levels above 300, posing health risks. Concerns persist about pollution even in greener zones, where AQI readings near 190-200 indicate ongoing challenges.
