Delhi records worst November air in years

NEW DELHI: DEC. 2 – India’s capital Delhi recorded its worst November air in at least six years, according to official data. The city recorded 11 days of “severe” pollution, up from 10 days in November 2016. Data also showed that the residents of Delhi didn’t experience even one “good” day of air quality throughout the month.

Experts blame the burning of crop stubble in neighboring states and the festival of Diwali for the alarming levels of pollution in November. The numbers are the worst Delhi has seen since 2015, when the Central Pollution Control Board started recording air quality data.
