The air quality in New Delhi has sharply deteriorated as a thick haze blankets the city, pushing the Air Quality Index (AQI) to around 376 early Wednesday, placing it on the cusp of the “severe” category. Some hotspots like Chandni Chowk (431), Jahangirpuri (406) and the area near Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (405) have already crossed the 400-AQI threshold. The smog is attributed to stagnant winds, low mixing heights and accumulating pollutants from traffic, industry and regional sources. Health officials warn that prolonged exposure at these levels can cause serious respiratory and cardiovascular issues, especially for vulnerable groups. (PC: ANI)
