Delhi Post-Diwali AQI Severe, Thick Smog Engulfs NCR Amid Punjab Stubble Burning Spat

Описание: Air quality across Delhi and the National Capital Region remained severely polluted following Diwali celebrations, with multiple monitoring stations recording an Air Quality Index crossing the 400 mark. A dense blanket of smog enveloped the national capital, drastically reducing visibility at landmarks like Akshardham, even as the India Meteorological Department issued advisories urging caution. Concurrently, a political controversy intensified over farm fires in Punjab. While Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav stated that stubble burning cases have sharply declined following the constitution of a Parali Protection Force and inter-agency coordination, ground reports indicated over 1,100 farm fires recorded on Diwali day alone and cumulative figures crossing 4,400. While the opposition and Bharatiya Janata Party traded blame over failure to curb seasonal pollution and alleged non-accountability of state and central leadership, reports noted that nearing completion of the paddy harvest could impact fire counts, with shifting wind speeds offering temporary relief to residents.
