कागजों में ही साफ हो गई हवा, असल में दम घोंट रहा धुआं

This report highlights a major concern regarding the data from the CAQM's Air Quality Index (AQI) station in Rohtak.

The core issue is a massive and unbelievable fluctuation in the recorded data for November 14: the PM2.5 level showed an AQI of 828 at 7:00 AM, but then suddenly dropped to an AQI of 33 at 3:00 PM on the same day.

The article states that while the air appears "clean on paper" due to these low afternoon readings, the reality is that the public is still experiencing choking smoke and high pollution. Experts suggest that the old AQI station and the data being relied upon are likely unreliable and flawed, making the reported clean air data dubious.
