PM 2.5 was recorded at 206 in the "Poor" category and PM 10 at 192 in the "Moderate" category at Lodhi Road area earlier today, according to the Air Quality Index (AQI) data.

Days after the residents of Delhi got out of the intake of toxic air, the air quality of Delhi has again plunged into "poor" category on December 1 

In what comes as a much needed relief, Delhi witnessed mild showers, thereby improving the air quality in the region. The national capital region has been reeling under harmful levels of air pollution ever since Diwali, majorly owing to stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

Despite ban on stubble burning, many instances of the same were reported from Haryana and Punjab. The Supreme Court slammed both the governments for their failure to control stubble burning that has contributed immensely to the poor air quality in Delhi and Punjab.

Delhi woke up to a hazy morning on Friday as the air quality index (AQI) of the national capital dipped again to the ‘poor’ category 
 

Air quality in the national capital deteriorated after a brief respite. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the city's overall air quality index (AQI) read 242 at 4 pm on Tuesday, up from 214 at the corresponding time the previous day.

The overall air quality of Delhi and the NCR has entered the ‘Severe’ category. The effective stubble fire counts estimated by SAFAR-integrated multi-satellite methodology have shown decreasing trend and were 740 on November 11, but the transport level wind direction is forecast to be highly favorable for plume intrusion for the next two days, SAFAR stated.

Schools in Delhi reopened after an extended Diwali break after the city was covered in a blanket of smog. While the pollution levels have gradually come down since Sunday, the AQI still remains in the 'poor' category.
 

Can odd-even scheme be an answer to solve the Delhi pollution problem? Memesters feel otherwise. MyNation in the Just for Laughs section attempts to echo the sentiment with a meme
