Toxic smog lingers over Delhi, keeping AQI in ‘Very Poor’ range
While officials expected Delhi’s air quality to plunge into the “severe” category, favorable winds and above-normal temperatures helped mitigate the situation.
Noise Pollution and Firecracker Violations
Alongside air pollution, noise levels in the city rose substantially during Diwali evening. Data from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) recorded heightened noise pollution between 6 p.m. and midnight. Despite clear restrictions on firecrackers, many neighborhoods reported extensive violations.

Environmentalist Vimalendu Jha explained, «Despite the ban, firecrackers were burst in Delhi-NCR. However, the air quality did not reach the severe category as the winds helped improve the situation.» Jha also cautioned that weather conditions in the coming days could lead to higher pollution levels.
AQI and Pollution Across the City
Data from CPCB’s monitoring stations showed that 32 of the city’s 40 stations registered «very poor» AQI readings. Some of the highest AQI levels were recorded at locations including Anand Vihar (385), Dwarka (367), Sonia Vihar (370), and Wazirpur (366).
