Well, Delhi is not the worst polluted city in India. Should we celebrate about it?
Not really sure, as not topping the list of being the most polluted not something great right?
In the list of the top most polluted cities across India, Bihar's Begusarai takes the number 1 spot with AQI at 367. Rajasthan's Hanumangarh was seen as the second city recording worst air quality. At number 3 stood Punjab's Mandi Gobindgarh town with AQI at 322. Delhi stood at number 4 while Bhiwadi City in Rajasthan took the fifth spot with AQI at 308.
Even today, the overall air quality in Delhi continued to remain ‘very poor’ with AQI at 314, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data at 8 am.
