Delhi’s air quality remained dangerously high on Tuesday, with the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) at 378 at 8 am, placing the city in the ‘very poor’ category, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

This marks a slight improvement from Monday, when the AQI had peaked at 427 in the ‘severe’ category. Despite the marginal dip, large parts of the capital were still shrouded in thick, toxic smog, reducing visibility and causing discomfort for residents, reported news agency ANI.
