New pollution hotspots are emerging across India with barely any mitigation strategies in place, reports show.

The study's findings contradict CAQM’s recent statement that farm fires in Punjab and Haryana dropped nearly 90 percent between 2020 and 2024.

Sonipat has recorded the worst air quality in the country, with pollution levels remaining extremely severe. Due to very low wind speed, smog has settled heavily over the city, and there is no sign of improvement for the next five days.

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.

Critics say artificially lowered pollution readings give a false impression that the city’s campaign against pollution is working effectively, masking the government’s failure to curb the menace.

There is a new worrying development: another “smog” is hovering over the veracity of New Delhi’s pollution readings.

A major investigation has revealed a critical failure in Delhi's air pollution monitoring system. Two-thirds of the national capital does not have access to reliable, real-time air quality data.

Delhi has 38 air quality monitors, but their placement leaves out 65% of the national capital without reliable air quality estimates.

The national capital Delhi woke up to a cold and foggy Monday morning, with the minimum temperature recorded at 10 degrees Celsius.

According to the monthly data, the last time Delhi logged a cooler November was in 2020, when the average minimum was 10.3°C.

BMC litter-picking machines, meant to keep the city clean, are now being criticised. Critics allege that these very machines are kicking up harmful road dust, worsening Mumbai's already poor air quality.

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) is launching PAVAN — Platform for Air Quality Vigilance and Analytics for NCR, a new digital ecosystem designed to transform inspections, compliance monitoring, and enforcement across the region.

A day after the Graded Response Action Plan’s (GRAP-III) restrictions were lifted, Delhi’s air quality slipped back into the higher end of the very poor category. The air quality index (AQI) stood at 377, compared to 327 a day earlier, even as authorities said restrictions would be re-imposed if pollution levels worsened.

Rohatak has seen a sharp increase in heavily polluted days this year, rising from 7 last year to 16 this year. However, farmers have burnt 37 per cent less stubble compared to the previous season, as they try to reduce pollution levels.

Revoking Stage III restrictions may give a false sense of security, as 'severe' AQI persists in parts of Delhi.
