Delhi continues to grapple with poor air quality, as the Air Quality Index (AQI) remains in the "poor" category for the fifth consecutive day on Friday, October 18, currently measured at 270. The situation is more severe in the Anand Vihar area, where the AQI has plummeted to 339, classifying it as "very poor." A thick layer of fog has enveloped iconic landmarks like India Gate, further complicating visibility and health concerns for residents. To combat the deteriorating air quality, Public Works Department (PWD) vehicles have been deployed to sprinkle water across various parts of the national capital, adhering to the measures outlined in the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP-1). Delhi Weather Forecast and Update: ‘Poor’ Air Quality Continues for Fourth Consecutive Day, 13 Stations in ‘Red’ As Pollution Level Soars Ahead of Winter; Clear Sky Likely on October 18.
