Delhi Records Increased Clean Air Days and Improved Air Quality in Early August
Delhi has recorded 137 clean air days until August 4 this year, seven more than the same period last year, reflecting improvements attributed to government efforts and favorable weather conditions. The city experienced a notably low Air Quality Index (AQI) of 29 early on August 4, aided by monsoon rains and winds that help disperse pollutants. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa highlighted sustained planning, scientific interventions, and citizen participation as key factors in improving air quality, with ongoing measures planned to maintain progress.
