The air quality in Delhi has slightly improved. My city is now in the poor to very poor category of air quality, depending on wind velocity
For next two days, air quality is likely to remain towards upper level of very poor category, said SAFAR
SAFAR said the air quality of the national capital is expected to 'significantly deteriorate' on Sunday
Biochar holds the key not only to reducing air pollution but also to rejuvenating agriculture and boosting rural employment
Twenty areas in the national capital recorded 'very poor' air quality while it was 'poor' in six areas, it said
The air quality even after 'significant deterioration' is likely to stay in "very poor" level and not reach the 'severe' category
The CPCB said 25 areas of Delhi recorded 'very poor' air quality while 11 areas recorded 'poor' air quality
The overall air quality index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded at 323, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data
In NCR, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Noida recorded 'very poor' air quality
This is the second time the CPCB has urged the public agencies to address the complaints filed against those violating pollution norms
The increase in pollution can be attributed to a decline in wind speed as compared to the past two days
Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Noida recorded "poor" air quality while Faridabad recorded "moderate" air quality
Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad too recorded 'very poor' overall air quality
Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad also recorded 'very poor' overall air quality
The CPCB directed public and enforcement agencies to immediately join social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook on which citizens can lodge their complaints
Authorities said the 'very poor' air quality was due to low wind speed, which is unfavourable for dispersion of pollutants
A study pointed out that during the past two decades, Delhi's air quality was the 'most deadly' in 2016 as it reduced the life expectancy of a resident by over 10 years
The bottom line is even with the region practically closed down, air quality is still nowhere close to where we need it to be
The weather office said the maximum and minimum temperatures were likely to hover around 26 and 13 degrees Celsius
The minimum temperature was recorded at 12.7 degrees Celsius, the season's average, with the weather office predicting a clear day ahead
