North India gasps, chokes. But crop burning continues.
Friday, November 10, 2017 IST
Delhi and adjoining areas continue to be choked with air pollution reaching hazardous levels and smog ensuring less visibility for the third day in a row on Thursday. The Health Ministry has been forced to issue a pollution advisory, asking citizens to drink plenty of water and avoid areas with smoke or heavy dust, among other measures.
Not just Delhi, the hazardous weather conditions have also affected Uttar Pradesh with various cities recording dangerously poor air quality.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) of Noida has been noted as the worst in the state in the past 24-hours. The air quality in the state capital is worst in Lalbagh where the average AQI is 463, which was very close to that in Noida in the last 24-hours. The AQI in Moradabad is 439, Noida (469), Lucknow (430), Agra (394) and Ghaziabad (372).
But even as north India continues to gasp for breath, there is no end to stubble burning in the region. Photos tweeted out by news agency ANI shows stubble being burnt in Rohtak in Haryana.
