Delhi-NCR Air Pollution Updates: The AQI in the national capital has improved marginally due to the strong winds, Centre’s air quality panel said the farm fires raging in Punjab prevented a significant improvement in the air quality. The AQI in Delhi was recorded at 320 Sunday morning. The NHRC, meanwhile, has slammed the governments of UP, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi for the rise in stubble-burning cases.

According to the NHRC, the state governments have failed to provide farmers with an alternative to stubble burning and it is due to the “failure” of the four state governments that stubble burning is happening.

The National Capital Region (NCR) also continued to witness bad air as Noida also registered very poor air quality with an AQI of 341 while Gurugram’s AQI stood at 324 and continued to remain in the ‘very poor’ category.
