Delhi Suffers 'Very Poor' Air Quality
New Delhi grappled with dangerously high air pollution on November 4, 2025, as the Air Quality Index (AQI) soared to "very poor" across the city and exceeded 400 in several hotspots, posing significant health risks. Authorities swiftly enacted Stage 2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), imposing restrictions on construction and vehicular movement, even as the Supreme Court demanded an action plan from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) amid concerns over non-functional monitoring stations.
