Air Quality in New Delhi Worsens After Dussehra celebrations

A day after hundreds of effigies of demon king Ravana were burnt in the national capital on the occasion of Dussehra, the air quality of the region has worsened on Monday morning.

Amid the rise in pollution levels, people are having problems with breathing and some children have started facing throat problems due to contaminated air.
Recently, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) submitted before the Delhi High Court that it has issued directions to implementing agencies including State Pollution Control Boards, construction agencies, municipal bodies, traffic police and transport department of Delhi and NCR for strict action against air polluting activities.
Ten monitoring stations in the national capital entered the “severe” zone on Friday, according to SAMEER, the AQI-monitoring mobile application developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
