On Saturday morning, the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in New Delhi stood at 355, marking a shift into the “very poor” category. In specific areas, the situation was even graver: at Anand Vihar the AQI soared to 403, entering the “hazardous” range. Other localities recorded high levels too — Jahangirpuri 365, Rohini 361 and Wazirpur 378. The deterioration follows Friday’s AQI of 311, which had already marked a decline from earlier “poor” readings. The city also woke up to a shallow layer of fog amid dropping temperatures — a combination that tends to trap pollutants and further degrade air quality. (PC: PTI)
