Delhi continues to struggle with severe air pollution, offering little to no relief for its residents. Even today, several parts of the capital remain covered in thick smog, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) staying at hazardous levels. Areas such as ITO, Mayur Vihar, and the AIIMS region are witnessing dense haze, making visibility poor and breathing increasingly difficult. Since Diwali, pollution levels in Delhi-NCR have remained alarmingly high, and despite the passage of months, there is no significant improvement. The situation is especially dangerous for children, the elderly, and people suffering from respiratory illnesses, who have been advised to take extra precautions and limit outdoor activities. Doctors warn that prolonged exposure to toxic air can worsen asthma, bronchitis, and other lung-related problems. Although the government has announced multiple measures to control pollution, their impact has so far been minimal. Vehicular emissions, dust, and unfavorable weather conditions continue to trap pollutants over the city. As winter progresses, the chances of immediate relief appear slim, leaving Delhiites to cope with deteriorating air quality and growing health concerns.
