As smoggy mornings are back, the air quality has dropped to 200m which is classified as “very poor” on the air quality index across National Capital Region. 

The smog could be felt inside the houses, offices and metro stations. “According to Delhi Pollution Control Committee's data on Sunday, the city has witnessed PM2.5  and the worst was at Anand Vihar in east Delhi with the primary pollutant being PM10. Out of 19 monitoring stations in NCR, 12 recorded severe air quality with lowest AQI in Gurgaon.”, reported Hindustan Times.
