The air quality in the capital is very poor. In such a situation, fireworks on Diwali can further spoil the health of the air. Even before Diwali, the air quality index (AQI) is very bad. Whereas in the last two years before Diwali the air was in poor category. In this, AQI 220 was recorded in 2023 and 259 AQI was recorded in 2022. This is in bad category. Whereas this time, even before Diwali, AQI is in very poor category for three consecutive days. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air may reach severe category from Wednesday. In such a situation, it is predicted that this time the wind may go into severe category on the next day of Diwali.
