CM urges people to carpool, use public transport

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is urging people to carpool, use public transport, or work from home to help out.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee says AQI in the first week of November was better than the same period last year.
Still, 23 out of 39 monitoring stations reported 'severe' pollution—Rohini and Wazirpur were among the worst spots—while a few areas like Dwarka saw much lower numbers.
