Delhi chokes again as AQI levels gets severe, triggering emergency measures

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) Delhi woke up on Tuesday to a thick, gray haze blanketing its skyline as the city’s air quality deteriorated sharply overnight, prompting authorities to invoke emergency measures to curb pollution.
At 9 am, the Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 425, a level categorised as “severe”, up from 362 recorded just a day earlier, according to official data.
The spike was attributed to calm winds, a stable atmosphere, and meteorological conditions that trapped pollutants close to the ground, officials said.
