Gurugram's air quality stays 'very poor' for 2nd day

India

Gurugram is stuck with seriously bad air again—Friday's AQI hit 320, and thick smog covered main roads like Golf Course Road and NH 48, making it tough to see.
Gwal Pahari was the hardest hit with an AQI of 351 by evening.

Dust from construction adds to worries

Other spots like Sector 51 and Teri Gram also reported high pollution, keeping the city in the 'very poor' zone.
Residents are frustrated as dust from construction sites piles up—Praveen Thakur noticed layers of dust on Dwarka Expressway, while Sandeep Singh pointed out exposed soil along Maidawas Road.

Smog guns deployed, but not enough

The city's municipal team rolled out smog guns on Friday morning to tackle road dust, but without rain or strong winds, pollution levels aren't budging.
Residents have complained about dust making it difficult to breathe and forcing them to keep their windows shut.
