Delhi Records 211 Days of Good-to-Moderate Air Quality in 2023, Best Since 2016
Delhi has recorded 211 days of good to moderate air quality this year, marking its best performance since 2016 except for 2020, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said. The number of poor air quality days declined from 168 in 2016 to 79 this year. The government credited coordinated pollution control measures, including mechanised road sweeping, anti-smog guns, and stricter monitoring, under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's leadership. However, winter months may challenge air quality due to weather conditions.
