The air quality in Delhi continues to be a cause of concern for the residents, as several areas recorded 'very poor' levels of pollution on Saturday morning. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the air quality index (AQI) in Anand Vihar and Ashok Vihar was 388 and 386, respectively, at 6 a.m. on Saturday. Both these areas had 'severe' levels of pollution on Friday, with AQI.
The AQI in Lodhi Road and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was also in the 'very poor' category, with readings of 349 and 366, respectively.
The high levels of pollution have affected the health and well-being of the people, especially the children and the elderly. Rahul Sachdeva, a local who came to enjoy a segway ride with his daughter, said that he was having breathing issues due to pollution. "The fun would have doubled if the pollution was less. We are having breathing issues due to pollution. Children are coughing," he said.
Abhishek, another local from the city, echoed the same sentiment. "You can see the situation, it is bad. The pollution is very high. There are breathing issues," he said, as reported by ZeeNews.
It's been more than a month, and nothing seems to be getting weather for the national capital.
People are suffering and falling sick and living their lives and gasping for breathe in the city called Delhi.
