Severe or worse air quality in Delhi for 4th day on trot

Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR were seven to eight times higher than the government's permissible limit on Monday morning, as a poisonous cloud hung over the region for the seventh consecutive day.

Stringent restrictions, including a ban on the entrance of polluting vehicles, went into place in Delhi on Sunday, as the city's air quality fell into the'severe plus' category for the second time in three days due to adverse wind conditions and an increase in agricultural fires throughout north India.

The 24-hour average Air Quality Index fell from 415 on Saturday to 454 on Sunday, leading the Centre to undertake all emergency measures needed by Stage IV of its air pollution management strategy, known as the Graded Response Action strategy.
