NDTV
Delhi's overall air quality index dropped from 461 at 7 am on Friday to 398 this morning, settling in the "very poor" category.
The air quality in the national capital improved marginally to 'very poor' from 'severe' on Saturday morning. The overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in the Capital dropped from 461 at 7 am on Friday to 398 this morning, settling in the 'very poor' category. However, the downward shift in the air quality index was of little respite to residents as a dense, toxic haze continued to shroud the city.
Speaking to ANI, a morning walker at Kartavya Path said, "We are finding it difficult to breathe. Senior citizens and children are especially at the receiving end of the prevailing foul air in the city."
According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR-India), the air quality index at Ghazipur was recorded at 398 at 7.15 am on Saturday.
