HealthPhoto: News18Farm Fires in Punjab and Haryana Cause Delhi's Air Quality to Worsen
Smoke from stubble-burning fires in Punjab and Haryana significantly worsened Delhi's air quality, pushing the Air Quality Index (AQI) from 117 on Saturday to 261 on Sunday. By Monday morning, the AQI crossed 300, entering the 'very poor' category for the first time this season. Analysis shows most fires were lit after NASA satellite passes, and weather conditions alone do not explain the pollution spike.
