Air quality in Delhi fell into the severe category on the morning after Diwali, as a thick layer of toxic smog covered the National Capital Region.
Data from the Central Pollution Control Board showed the Air Quality Index crossing 430 in hotspots such as Jahangirpuri, Anand Vihar and Mundka. The sharp deterioration was linked to widespread emissions from firecrackers combined with calm wind conditions.
