The air quality across Delhi NCR continues to remain suffocating on Sunday today. The Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data, on Sunday recorded 265.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) the minimum temperature was recorded at 20.0 degrees Celsius. The humidity level stood at 91% at 8.30 am.
The morning was fairly sunny on Sunday but as the day passed by there was a blanket of haze covering over the sky. On average, people thought mistook the haze as cloudy sky but actually it was pollution hovering over the sky.
The burning of ‘parali’ or stubble burning across Haryana and Punjab continues unabated.
On Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi claimed anti-pollution measures were in force in Delhi. She said, “We have formed 99 teams who are carrying out dust control measures across Delhi. We have started the process of deploying more than 325 smog guns. PWD and MCD have deployed all their resources to combat pollution in Delhi.”
However, the CM remained silent on non working of smog tower in Connaught Place. She did not utter a word why their government in Punjab is unable to stop stubble burning.
