The report says that Delhi’s pollution tracking model, called the Decision Support System (DSS), has not been able to correctly measure how much stubble burning contributes to the city’s poor air quality. Officials said the model often shows lower figures than the real impact because it struggles to use satellite data and changing burning patterns accurately. Experts believe this gap affects how pollution control plans are made. The article also mentions that Delhi’s air quality remained severe, and officials are working to improve the system for more reliable data.
