Air quality in Delhi shows improvement

Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) decreased to 302 from the 'severe+' levels exceeding 400 recorded earlier this week, now classified as 'very poor'.

This enhancement is credited to favorable weather conditions, such as rainfall and improved wind speed. However, measures under GRAP Phases I, II, and III will continue to be enforced to avert any further decline in air quality.
