In order to check the AQI of your area or your city before stepping out of the house, there are a few apps that you can install in your phone.

Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Saturday said stubble burning could be reduced in Punjab this year because the Centre got bio-decomposer sprayed in the agrarian state under corporate social responsibility initiatives.

The overall air quality index stood at 323 at 8 am. A Met official said winds gusting up to 30 kmph barrelled through parts of Delhi for a brief period on Tuesday night.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Delhi's "very poor" air quality was because of stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, and that the governments were "doing nothing" to help farmers stop it.

Delhi is worse than Faridabad in terms of cleanliness, the Supreme Court said today, and questioned how the World Bank Funds are spent by the administration.

Starting 8 am today, the Delhi government has implemented the "odd-even" traffic rationing scheme as pollution air pollution levels in the city reach apocalyptic levels.

As the air quality in Delhi entered the second-worst severe category on Tuesday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed "with folded hands" to Punjab and Haryana to take concrete steps against stubble burning to prevent the national capital from turning into a "gas chamber".

Air quality in Delhi expected to remain "poor" for a fourth straight day today, with the national capital likely to record Air Quality Index of 256, up from 222 on Saturday and 208 on Friday. The AQI is likely to worsen to "very poor" by the third week of October

At a time when Delhi has been revealed as the most polluted city in the world, fires continue to rage in its Neelwal locality despite a 2013 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order that clamped down on the burning of plastic. Ironically, this West Delhi area is situated just 30 km from the green court.

The Central Pollution Control Board recorded the overall Air Quality Index of Delhi at 301 on Sunday.

Delhi and adjoining areas in the NCR have been engulfed in a blanket of smog for over a week in November.
