PM2.5 levels in Rohtak have crossed the severe mark of 400 for the third time in a month, raising serious concerns over air quality.

Rohtak recorded temporary improvement in air quality as strong winds helped disperse pollutants, though experts warned the relief was due to weather conditions and not systemic action.

Rohtak recorded a sharp rise in daily average AQI in November despite a significant reduction in stubble-burning incidents in Haryana. Experts say transport emissions and local pollution sources are major contributors.

The report reveals serious negligence by the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB). Out of 37 Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) set up across the state, 35 remained non-functional for several months.

रोहतक में प्रदूषण का स्तर लगातार बढ़ता जा रहा है। गुरुवार शाम जिले का एक्यूआई 357 तक पहुंच गया, जो दिल्ली के आनंद विहार (305) से भी ज्यादा रहा। सिर्फ 24 घंटों में ही प्रदूषण में 109 अंकों की बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई। वाहनों और औद्योगिक इकाइयों से निकलने वाले धुएं के कारण शहर की हवा लगातार खराब हो रही है। विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, तापमान में गिरावट के साथ प्रदूषण और बढ़ने की आशंका है।

The Haryana Pollution Control Board's data for 28 cities, including Rohtak, has raised questions about its accuracy. Despite monitoring pollution levels, concerns have been raised about the reliability of the figures, especially regarding air quality in rural areas. Authorities are under scrutiny for not addressing these issues properly.
