Manjinder Singh Sirsa says Delhi AQI lowest after Diwali
Delhi's Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa says the city is seeing AQI levels remain low after Diwali in a decade, thanks to ongoing government efforts.
Still, he admits the air isn't exactly good, just a bit better than usual.
Delhi AQI 350 remains very poor
This year's AQI dropped slightly after Diwali, from 382 to 371, landing at 350 on November 12, still in the "Very Poor" range.
For context, past years saw post-Diwali AQIs soar above 400 (with a record of 462 in 2021).
Sirsa says there's more work ahead to make Delhi's air truly breathable.
