A huge ash cloud from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano is moving towards northwest India and may affect Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR and Punjab. The ash is 10–15 km above the ground and is mainly a threat to flights. Airlines have begun cancelling and rerouting flights, with more disruption expected on Tuesday. IndiGo has already cancelled six flights. IMD says the ash will make the sky hazy but will not affect the surface much. However, experts warn it could worsen pollution. Delhi’s AQI was already near the “severe” mark on Monday. Officials are closely monitoring the situation. (PC: Afar Government Communication Bureau via AP)
