Breaking: Delhi Air Pollution Worsens as AQI Stays in Red Zone, GRAP-4 Curbs Fail to Bring Relief

Air pollution in the national capital Delhi continues to worsen, with no immediate relief in sight over the next few days. Several areas across the city remain in the red zone, with the Air Quality Index crossing 400, indicating hazardous conditions. A thick blanket of smog and fog has engulfed Delhi, causing breathing difficulties and severely reducing visibility. Despite the implementation of GRAP-4 restrictions, including a ban on non-PUCC petrol vehicles and the entry of vehicles below BS-6 norms, air quality has shown no improvement. On Sunday morning, Delhi’s average AQI stood at 391, while pollution hotspot Anand Vihar recorded an alarming AQI of 445. According to the weather department, improvement in conditions is expected around December 27–28.
