Rain Brings Relief From Pollution, AQI Expected to Improve

Despite worsening the cold, the rainfall has brought a silver lining for Delhi residents. Meteorological officials stated that rain helps settle dust particles and pollutants suspended in the air. As a result, air quality levels across Delhi-NCR are expected to improve noticeably. Several pollution-hit areas may record a drop in AQI, offering temporary but much-needed relief from hazardous air conditions.
