Despite the ban on firecrackers, the air quality in Delhi is very poor a few days before Diwali.

Latest News :- The air quality in Delhi remains very poor today (Monday). The capital Delhi is considered to be the worst air polluted city of India. Air pollution has been a major challenge for Delhi for the last 10 years. In such a situation, Diwali week has started, hence even today (28 October) the air quality in Delhi remains very poor. According to the average of last 24 hours, the air quality index in Delhi was 264 at 6 am today. Although this is a 90-point decline from the previous record, it is still the worst record ever.

To control air pollution in Delhi, firecrackers have been banned till January 1, 2025. There is also a ban on the production and sale of firecrackers. This ban has been imposed to prevent air pollution during the upcoming snowy season. The people of Delhi have also been requested to cooperate in this. However, air pollution remains high in Delhi. Experts say that in this environment, if firecrackers are burst in violation of the ban during Diwali week, air pollution will increase further. For this, experts emphasize that surveillance on the state borders should be intensified to prevent smuggling of firecrackers in Delhi.

Due to increase in air pollution, people are facing problems like sore throat, difficulty in breathing and burning sensation in the eyes. Air Quality Index (AQI) is used to measure pollution in the air. An air quality index (AQI) of zero to 50 is considered ideal. 51 to 100 is considered satisfactory, 101 to 200 is considered moderate air pollution. If it goes from 201 to 300 then the air is more polluted. 301 to 400 is too much. An AQI of 401 to 500 is considered very poor air pollution. The pollution level will increase further after Diwali. The government should take immediate action in this matter. There is an increasing demand for people to use public transport more.
