The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) of deliberately spraying water near air quality monitoring stations, particularly at Anand Vihar ISBT, to artificially reduce Air Quality Index (AQI) readings. AAP claimed that data showed PM10 levels dropped abnormally from 736 µg/m³ to 221 µg/m³ during the spraying, only to rise again after it stopped. The party said this manipulation aimed to present falsely improved pollution data. Experts stated such actions only offer short-term dust suppression and do not reflect any real improvement in Delhi’s air quality.
