Delhi chokes on second straight day also

There is no respite from severe air pollution in Delhi as air quality remained in the "severe" category on Wednesday morning. The air quality was similar to what it was on Tuesday. Delhi's air quality took a hit after Diwali night due to a combination of firecracker emissions, stubble burning and unfavorable meteorological conditions. Since then, pollution levels are oscillating between the lower end and the higher end of the very poor category.

दिल्ली को गंभीर वायु प्रदूषण से आराम नहीं मिला है क्योंकि बुधवार सुबह भी हवा की गुणवत्ता "गंभीर" श्रेणी में रही। हवा की गुणवत्ता मंगलवार को जो थी, उसी के समान थी। पटाखों के उत्सर्जन, चारे के जलने और प्रतिकूल मौसम परिस्थितियों के मिश्रण के कारण दिवाली की रात के बाद दिल्ली की हवा की गुणवत्ता नष्ट हुई। तब से, प्रदूषण का स्तर खराब श्रेणी के निचले छोर और बहुत ऊपर के बीच झूल रहा है।
