Delhi's air quality hits 'very poor' category as pollution worsens

The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi's Anand Vihar has been recorded at 334, which is classified as "very poor" as the national capital yet again grapples with pollution.

Factors that contribute to worsening air quality include emissions from sources such as stubble and waste burning. Unfavourable weather conditions also prevent the effective dispersion of pollutants, leading to significant health concerns.

On Friday, a thick layer of toxic foam was seen floating on the Yamuna River in Delhi's Kalindi Kunj area.

On Thursday, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) identified and penalised several government-related construction projects for failing to comply with dust control measures.
