Delhi Air Quality Remains Very Poor with Severe Pollution in Several Areas

Delhi's air quality remained in the 'very poor' category, with several areas like Chandni Chowk and Jahangirpuri recording 'severe' pollution levels above 400 AQI, according to Central Pollution Control Board data. Vehicular emissions are identified as a primary cause, particularly near transport hubs such as Kashmiri Gate. The city also experienced a cold wave, with temperatures below normal, which may affect pollution dispersion. Efforts to address air quality challenges continue amid persistent hazardous conditions.
