Delhi: Air Quality remains in the severe category, difficulty in breathing| Public reacts | Oneindia

The air quality in Delhi dipped to the severe category on Wednesday morning after clocking a slight improvement a day earlier.

The situation has worsened in Mumbai too since it joined Delhi among the world's most polluted cities last weekend.

A blanket of toxic smog covers Delhi and its surrounding cities with authorities shutting schools and banning trucks and construction activities.

The overall air quality index (AQI) in Delhi was recorded at 418 this morning, with some of the worst-affected areas being Punjabi Bagh (460), Narela (448), Bawana (462), Anand Vihar (452), and Rohini (451).

Mumbai, which was among the world's most polluted cities on Sunday, recorded an AQI of 165 this morning.

Watch the people react to the crisis.

ā€˜WONā€™T SCRAP MY CARā€™ā€”Delhi Fuel Ban on 62 Lakh Vehicles Paused | Protests Explode Over EOL Policy

Public outrage has forced the Delhi government to pause its controversial plan to deny fuel to over 62 lakh "End of Life" vehicles ā€” including cars, bikes, trucks, and even vintage automobiles. The now-on-hold EOL policy targeted petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel ones older than 10, with fuel stations set to use number plate recognition to block refueling. But after massive backlash from citizens ā€” especially those with well-maintained older vehicles and valid pollution certificates ā€” the government is rethinking its move. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa cited ā€œtechnological challengesā€ and announced a shift in focus: targeting poorly-maintained vehicles instead of penalizing all old ones. #DelhiFuelBan #EndOfLifeVehicles #EOLPolicy #DelhiPollution #OldCarBan #FuelBanRollback #DelhiGovt #AirPollution #VehicleScrappage #PUCC #EnvironmentalPolicy #PublicOutcry #AutoNews #VehicleBan #DelhiNews #ManjinderSinghSirsa #BreakingNews ~HT.318~
