Delhi is in panic today as it woke to ‘severe’ air quality under a blanket of thick haze. Pollution levels have breached the permissible standards by multiple times, prompting the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to declare a public health emergency state.
The rapid fall in air quality and visibility began last evening itself as moisture combined with pollutants shrouded the city in a thick cover of haze, reports PTI. By 10 am today, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) recorded ‘severe’ air quality, meaning the intensity of pollution was extreme.
