“Delhi’s air quality turned ‘very poor’ this morning as people in several parts of the national capital burst firecrackers on Diwali defying the ban. Loud thuds of firecrackers thundered throughout the Diwali night breaching permissible decibel limits that made the air unbreathable. People started bursting crackers by dusk, and as the night progressed, the intensity of firecrackers increased. Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) stood at 323 at 6 am today, a day after Diwali, the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) shows. In neighbouring Gurugram, Noida and Faridabad too, the air quality dropped in the ‘very poor’ category.
