Delhi and its surrounding areas woke up to a thick layer of smog on Diwali morning, with the air quality index (AQI) remaining in the "very poor" category at 328. Despite anti-pollution measures, the city's air quality continued to deteriorate. Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 419, falling under the "severe" category. The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) provided the real-time data. The poor air quality poses health risks, especially for vulnerable populations. Authorities' efforts to curb pollution seem ineffective, raising concerns about the city's worsening air quality.
