Delhi-NCR Breathes Easier As AQI Improves To Moderate

Air Quality Improvement  
The AQI in Delhi-NCR shifted from ‘very poor’ to ‘moderate,’ marking a notable improvement in air quality. Meteorological factors such as stronger winds and better dispersion of pollutants contributed to the decline in pollution levels.
