Air pollution in Delhi has reached severe levels, recording an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 1,500, significantly above the World Health Organization’s safe thresholds. Authorities have implemented emergency measures including school closures and bans on construction and non-essential trucks. The situation is compounded by stubble burning in northern India, prompting accusations between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Aam Aadmi Party regarding pollution control. Experts warn that conditions may deteriorate further in the coming days, impacting residents’ health and safety.
