Delhi’s air turns ‘Severe’ again! AQI crosses 400 in many areas — a red alert for lungs as pollution chokes the capital once more.
‘Severe’ (AQI 401–500) is the highest danger zone — air so toxic it harms even healthy people and poses serious risks for those with health issues. It’s downright hazardous.
Delhi’s ‘Red Zone’ hotspots as of Sunday morning: Bawana – 436, Patparganj – 425, Wazirpur – 424, RK Puram – 422, ITO – 420. The entire city is gasping under toxic air.
Delhi’s toxic air is no mystery — stubble burning from nearby states (30%+ of pollution), vehicle emissions, and stagnant cold air have combined into a suffocating smog trap.
Burning eyes, sore throat, and a foggy head — it’s all real. Doctors warn that ultra-fine PM2.5 particles inflame your body, making even healthy people feel weak and dizzy in this toxic haze.
GRAP Stage II is in force — water sprinkling and road sweeping are on. But despite ‘severe’ pollution, Stage III curbs like construction bans aren’t active yet. Action still lags behind the crisis.
Stay protected indoors: keep all windows and doors sealed, use an air purifier if possible, and only ventilate briefly between 1–3 PM when sunlight helps disperse pollutants.
Avoid going out unless necessary — skip morning and evening walks when pollution peaks. If you must step out, wear a certified N95 mask; cloth or surgical masks are useless against PM2.5.

The outlook remains grim — Delhi’s air will stay ‘very poor’ to ‘severe’ for the coming days. This crisis isn’t ending soon, so protect yourself and your family. Stay alert, stay safe.
