Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) stayed in the “very poor” category at around 329, keeping residents under smoggy, polluted air conditions on Wednesday. Shallow to moderate fog is forecast by the India Meteorological Department, reducing visibility and worsening pollution effects across the city. Persistent cold and trapped pollutants have kept AQI high, prompting health concerns and advisory warnings, especially for sensitive groups. The poor air persists despite slight improvements from earlier “severe” levels. Meteorologists predict continued low visibility and pollution through the coming days, affecting travel and outdoor activities in the national capital. (PC: PTI)
