According to the Central Pollution Control Board's daily bulletin, the city recorded an AQI of 296 on Sunday evening. In comparison, the figures stood at 268 on Saturday and 254 and 245 on the preceding days.
Neighbouring cities also witnessed deteriorating air conditions, with Noida and Ghaziabad already falling in the ‘very poor' category, while Faridabad recorded ‘moderate' air quality levels.
