Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) hit 500 on November 19, 2024, marking the worst pollution levels this season. The severe pollution led to schools and universities switching to online classes, with Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Noida halting in-person sessions. Dense fog and poor visibility caused delays and cancellations in over 30 trains and flights. The Union Health Ministry issued advisories urging strengthened health systems and climate action. The city continues to face stringent anti-pollution measures under Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).
