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

Officials in Delhi have been interfering with air quality monitors to make the city's serious pollution appear less bad.

Delhi AQI data gap explained: The world’s most polluted capital city is still largely flying blind when it comes to understanding the full scope of the toxic air its residents breathe.

A new analysis shows that most of Delhi’s 39 air quality monitoring stations are located in south and central areas, leaving large parts of the city — especially the outskirts — without proper pollution tracking. Experts say this imbalance makes it hard to understand true pollution levels and plan effective action.

A new report shows that Delhi’s air quality monitoring stations are unevenly spread, with most located in the south and central parts of the city. Large peripheral areas remain under-monitored, affecting efforts to track pollution accurately and plan effective responses.

The government is looking into putting dust sensors on major roads across Delhi and its surrounding NCR area. These sensors would track how much road dust is polluting the air. Officials say the plan could help spot very dusty spots and guide efforts to clean or water-spray those areas.

Delhi's air quality hit a season high of 391 AQI, with 24 stations reporting 'severe' levels; inconsistencies raise concerns over data accuracy.

Although the air quality in Gurgaon appears to be moderate in the statistics, the air is actually polluted. Since many air quality monitoring stations in the city are closed, accurate information is not available. The season of burning crop residues in agriculture and the slow winds are likely to increase pollution. Citizens need to get accurate information so that they can take appropriate measures.

Gurgaon has lost its ability to monitor real-time air quality after its only functioning government air quality monitoring station stopped transmitting data.

The air quality station in Sector 51 stopped functioning in April, the one run by TERI stopped in March, and the Vikas Sadan station has been offline since January.

The Delhi environment minister has announced the locations for the five stations but not disclosed the location for the sixth
