Delhi continues to struggle with severe air pollution, leading authorities to enforce new restrictions to protect public health. Schools have been instructed to shift to online classes as pollution levels soar, with the air quality reaching hazardous levels in several areas across the city.
The top five most polluted areas in Delhi this morning include Jahangirpuri, Bawana, Wazirpur, Rohini, and Punjabi Bagh, where air quality indices (AQI) have spiked alarmingly. The government has implemented a series of emergency measures, including restrictions on construction activities and vehicle movement, to curb the city’s worsening air quality.
Health advisories urge residents, especially vulnerable groups like children and the elderly, to stay indoors. Authorities have also deployed water sprinklers, and roadside dust control measures are in place as immediate actions to reduce particulate matter in the air.
