No Air Pollution In Gurgaon? All Haryana AQI Monitoring Stations Have Been Defunct Since April

A startling official audit report has exposed a major failure in Haryana's pollution monitoring system. Since April, every single government air quality monitoring station (CAAQMS) across the state, including in critical cities like Gurgaon, has been completely defunct. This means that the official Air Quality Index (AQI) data for the region during this period is either missing or based on outdated, unreliable information.

The breakdown is attributed to unpaid dues to the maintenance contractor and a failure to renew the annual contract. This situation effectively blinds authorities and the public to the true state of air pollution, undermines efforts to issue health advisories or implement clean air plans like GRAP, and raises serious questions about the government's commitment to addressing the pollution crisis.
