The national capital remained shrouded in a blanket of toxic smog, prompting doctors to raise concerns about the growing number of ailments among children and the elderly.
The air quality in Delhi continues to be in the 'severe' category, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at over 450 in some locations this morning. Some of the worst affected areas are RK Puram (453), Punjabi Bagh (444), ITO (441) and Anand Vihar (432).
The national capital remained shrouded in a blanket of toxic smog, prompting doctors to raise concerns about the growing number of respiratory and eye ailments among children and the elderly.
To combat the escalating air pollution crisis, the Supreme Court has proposed that the Delhi government consider prohibiting app-based taxis registered in other states from operating within the national capital. Delhi's Transport Minister Gopal Rai has responded to this suggestion by affirming that his department has been tasked with implementing the court's recommendation.
