delhi pollution Delhi’s pollution levels have climbed alarmingly, with the Air Quality Index surpassing 400 in at least 15 stations across the city. The capital’s air quality has now entered the brink of the ‘severe’ category, raising major health and environmental concerns.
Doctors warn that such high AQI levels can cause breathing difficulties, eye irritation, and fatigue, especially among children and the elderly. The administration has deployed anti-smog guns and banned non-essential construction activities under the GRAP Stage 3 protocol.
Despite these efforts, experts stress that long-term solutions—including cleaner fuels, better waste management, and reduced vehicular emissions—are essential to prevent the annual pollution crisis. Citizens are urged to use public transport and reduce private vehicle use.
