India’s capital accused of tampering with air quality readings to make pollution look less dire

A news report claims that officials in India's capital city, Delhi, have been interfering with air quality monitors.

The report says the government has done this to make the city's very serious air pollution problem appear less bad than it actually is.

This includes moving monitors to cleaner areas, ignoring data from the worst periods, and using weaker methods to measure pollution.

The article suggests this is done to avoid taking difficult and costly actions to clean the air, and to prevent public alarm.

Experts warn that hiding the true scale of the problem means people's health is at greater risk because they are not getting accurate information about the dangerous air they are breathing.
