Delhi’s air quality worsened as the Air Quality Index (AQI) reached a severe level of 432 on Thursday morning, with Anand Vihar recording an AQI of 473. Visibility at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport dropped to 500 meters, causing flight delays. Several areas, including Ashok Vihar, Jahangirpuri, and Patparganj, reported AQI levels above 450. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva criticized the AAP government’s “inefficiency” in addressing pollution, attributing the crisis to stubble burning and road dust. He called for school closures and urged residents to avoid outdoor activities. Airlines issued advisories to passengers about potential flight disruptions.
