Delhi Chokes Post-Diwali as Air Quality Hits New Lows

Delhi recorded its worst air quality since 2021 following Diwali celebrations. The poor air quality is attributed to residents flouting firecracker guidelines. The city government blames the AAP administration in Punjab for permitting stubble burning, contributing to the toxic haze.

In a concerning development, Delhi's air quality plummeted to its worst level since 2021, a day after Diwali celebrations. Residents disregarded Supreme Court-mandated firecracker time slots, leading to a toxic haze over the city.

With air quality reaching alarming levels, authorities are under pressure to implement stricter measures to prevent future occurrences and protect public health.
