A Delhi-based startup founder, Kapil Dhama, shared a viral video revealing how his indoor Air Quality Index (AQI) surged from 97 to over 500 within a minute of opening his door, despite four air purifiers running. The incident underscores the alarming pollution levels across Delhi-NCR, where post-Diwali smog has pushed AQI into the ‘severe’ category. Social media users called the situation a “nightmare for residents,” with many expressing concern over the deteriorating air and advising people to consider temporary relocation from the capital region.
