The AQI in neighbouring Ghaziabad (342), Gurgaon (340) and Noida (363) was also in the 'very poor' category.
The national capital's air quality was in the 'very poor' category on November 20 but is predicted to improve significantly from November 21 owing to relatively strong winds.
Delhi's air quality index (AQI) at 9 a.m. on November 20 was 377. It was slightly better on November 19 when the AQI was 370, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data.
The city recorded a minimum temperature of 14.5°C, two notches above the season's average, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
