Delhi Chokes On Toxic Air Post Diwali; Air Quality Worsens Amid Stubble Burning Spike In Punjab

Описание: Delhi NCR woke up to toxic air quality following Diwali celebrations, with air pollution levels reaching alarming highs across the capital. Delhi's air quality index touched a peak of 1,331 at 1:30 AM on Diwali night, with 15 monitoring stations recording an AQI above 400. In Dwarka Sector 8, PM 2.5 levels crossed 1,500 and PM 10 surpassed 2,000 as firecracker bans were flouted past permissible hours. Alongside firecrackers, Punjab recorded its sharpest single-day spike in stubble burning incidents on Diwali night, reporting 1,152 farm fires on 8th November and raising the cumulative total to over 4,400. Tarn Taran emerged as the worst affected district, followed by Ferozepur. The escalating environmental crisis has ignited a political blame game, with the Opposition targeting the ruling BJP over failing to control pollution, while the BJP accused the Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab of shielding stubble burning to settle political scores.
