On Wednesday morning, the air quality in the national capital worsened, falling into the ‘severe’ category as a thin layer of smog enveloped parts of the city, lowering visibility and causing the air quality index (AQI) to reach hazardous levels.

The air quality index had been hovering in the ‘severe plus’ category for the last two days.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reported that as of 9 AM today, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the national capital was 424, falling into the ‘severe’ category.
