Track pollution levels in your city with this real-time air quality mapOn Wednesday, multiple monitoring agencies in Delhi recorded the highly polluting and dangerous PM2.5 and PM10 at over 10 times the safe limit across the city-state during the day. The benchmark air quality index (AQI) was also recorded at “severe”, indicating the highest level of pollution in the city even as the government appeared clueless on battling the menace despite announcing several schemes. “If pollution levels deteriorate then the government will shut schools for a few days. Health of students is of prime importance but at present there is no such plan,” a senior government official said. The state-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) said the air quality was likely to improve from Friday.
