Delhi-NCR Breathes Easy: AQI Out of Red Zone After Months of Severe Pollution

• Delhi-NCR's Air Quality Index (AQI) has moved out of the severe and very severe categories, now mostly in Yellow (moderate) and Orange (poor) zones.
• Key monitoring stations in Delhi like Anand Vihar (242), Ashok Vihar (222), and Chandni Chowk (217) show improved AQI levels.
• Noida also saw AQI improvement, with Sector-125 at 235 and Sector-1 at 208, though some areas remain in the Orange zone.
• Ghaziabad still records higher AQI levels in areas like Loni (271), Indirapuram (255), and Vasundhara (237).
• The improvement is attributed to reduced vehicle traffic and industrial activity on Sunday, but fog and haze may trap pollutants, requiring continued monitoring.

Why It Matters: Delhi-NCR experiences significant AQI improvement, moving out of severe pollution categories after months.
