Delhi woke up to another day of toxic air as the Air Quality Index (AQI) around Akshardham touched 360, falling in the ‘Very Poor’ category, according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Wednesday morning.

The city continues to grapple with rising pollution levels as stubble burning, vehicular emissions, and stagnant weather conditions worsen air quality. Health experts have advised residents, especially children and the elderly, to limit outdoor activity.
