The situation has become serious due to increasing pollution in the capital of the country. In many areas of Delhi today on November 1, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is above 400, while there is a dangerous situation in Narela where AQI has reached to 571 mark. Meanwhile, there is no hope of getting relief from pollution in Delhi-NCR yet. In fact, as the harvesting of paddy crops is high in November, the cases of stubble burning may increase, which is expected to increase the level of pollution in Delhi's air.
According to the data of the Central Pollution Control Board, at around 8.30 am today, the air quality index of most areas of the capital was recorded above 400, which is in the severe category. AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 to 100 'satisfactory', 101 to 200 'moderate', 201 to 300 'poor', 301 to 400 'very poor' and 401 to 400 'very poor'. An AQI of 500 and above is considered 'severe'. There is a dangerous situation above it, in which it is difficult to breathe.
According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), the winds have turned northwest. Due to this, the stubble smoke is reaching the capital. Although there has been a slight decrease in the cases of stubble burning in Punjab compared to last year, even after this, the pollution of stubble has affected the capital by 26 percent. For the past two days, a sheet of haze and smog is visible in Delhi in the morning. At the same time, there is no possibility of getting relief from this at the moment.
