Delhi is grappling with severe air pollution, as the Air Quality Index (AQI) remains in the ‘very poor’ category. The situation has prompted the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a yellow alert, signaling a need for caution. The air quality in the city has continued to deteriorate, with levels of pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM10 soaring to hazardous levels. This has raised serious health concerns for residents, particularly for those with respiratory conditions, the elderly, and children, who are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of polluted air.

As a result of the ongoing pollution, train services have been delayed across several routes. The thick smog and reduced visibility are making it difficult for railway operators to maintain schedules safely. Passengers are advised to remain patient and check the status of their trains before traveling.

The high AQI readings are not just a concern for commuters and travelers but also pose a long-term risk to public health. Experts recommend limiting outdoor activities and wearing protective masks to reduce exposure to harmful pollutants. The yellow alert issued by IMD highlights the possibility of further deterioration in air quality and urges the public to take preventive measures.

Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely and have urged citizens to stay informed about air quality updates. Despite efforts to combat pollution, the dense smog continues to affect daily life, making it crucial for both individuals and authorities to take measures to mitigate the impact of the ongoing pollution crisis.
