Delhi-NCR is experiencing severe air pollution, with smog enveloping the city for the third consecutive day. The air quality index in many areas has crossed the 400 mark, posing a risk to the health of residents, especially children and the elderly. Unfavorable weather conditions and farm fires are contributing to the hazardous air quality. The Delhi government has implemented measures to tackle the problem, including banning construction work in heavily polluted areas and launching initiatives to reduce vehicular pollution. The peak pollution period in Delhi is from November 1 to November 15, coinciding with increased stubble burning incidents in Punjab and Haryana.
