Delhi witnesses sharp rise in teen pregnancy

A sharp increase in teenage pregnancies in Delhi has become a matter of grave concern. According to government's data, 3.10% of women who delivered babies in 2016 were 19-years-old or below. It was 2.75% last year. Experts attributed this to lack of knowledge about sex and contraceptive methods. They added that younger pregnant women can develop anaemia etc. Tap in for more from Delhi-NCR.

Pollution level
Delhi: July's air quality best since May, 2015

According to Central Pollution Control Board, Delhiites breathed 'good' quality air in July. July has scored best since May'15 and hasn't recorded a single "bad" air quality day, thanks to monsoon. "Even though it isn't raining in Delhi all the time, surrounding areas across North-India received substantial rain. Because of this, long range transport of pollutants from outside Delhi is minimal," an official said.
