GRAP measures continue across the national capital.
On Tuesday air quality in the national capital once again deteriorated to the ‘very poor’ category with the AQI clocking 328 in the morning, according to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR).
According to IMD the reason behind this might be the stagnant wind of Delhi.
