New Delhi

: On Wednesday morning, Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) were shrouded in a dense layer of smog, drastically reducing visibility. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) classified the Air Quality Index (AQI) in the “very poor” category, with certain areas reaching hazardous levels.

A Grim Forecast CPCB data reported an AQI of 393 in Anand Vihar around 5 AM, while air quality monitoring firm IQAir recorded a hazardous AQI of 1133 in Delhi, largely driven by PM2.5 pollutants. The dense combination of smog, fog, and mist has reduced visibility, particularly in the morning hours. Experts expect these conditions to persist throughout the day, posing health risks for vulnerable populations, especially those with respiratory conditions.

The Role of Stubble Burning in nearby agricultural states like Punjab and Haryana remains a key factor in worsening air quality. This seasonal practice, common after October’s paddy harvest, has sharply increased pollutants. Punjab alone has recorded over 7,100 farm fires this season, significantly contributing to Delhi’s polluted air.

Disruptions to Daily Life Poor air quality has also affected daily life and travel. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar canceled his attendance at a Ludhiana conference due to visibility issues at Halwara Airport, with his plane diverted to Amritsar—highlighting the smog’s impact on travel.

As Delhi-NCR faces this severe environmental challenge, immediate efforts are essential to mitigate air pollution and protect public health.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
