The air quality in Delhi has reached 'severe' levels for the first time this winter, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) breaching the 400 mark. The situation is expected to worsen due to unfavorable weather conditions. The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has been enforced, and additional measures will be implemented, including restrictions on vehicle use, online classes for children up to class 5, intensified road cleaning, and a ban on construction activities. Prolonged exposure to toxic air can have long-term health effects, and previous studies have shown that vehicles are a significant contributor to pollution in Delhi.
