Delhi faces severe air pollution as AQI levels soar across multiple areas

Delhi's air quality remains poor, with many areas recording "severe" pollution levels for the third day. The average Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 448 in Anand Vihar, with 17 monitoring stations reporting severe conditions. The Supreme Court has expressed concern over the enforcement of a firecracker ban during Diwali. The Delhi government is reviewing its winter action plan to address the ongoing pollution crisis. Experts warn that pollution levels may worsen due to stagnant winds and lack of weather changes. PM2.5 remains the primary pollutant, with vehicular emissions identified as a major contributor to the city's air quality issues.
