Delhi steps up pollution fight as air stays 'very poor'

India Nov 19, 2025

Delhi's air quality is still stuck in the "very poor" zone, with the AQI at 391 for six days straight.
The government is stepping up its efforts—Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa is asking everyone to pitch in, and officials have pinpointed 62 hotspots where pollution from waste and dust is worst.

Ministers hit the streets, call for teamwork

Eighteen of Delhi's 38 monitoring stations are now reporting 'severe' AQI levels. In response, ministers are out inspecting trouble spots.
Sirsa summed it up: "Delhi government is waging a war against pollution. This needs to be fought together."
The goal? Get everyone involved and make a real difference in the city's air quality.
