Cold Wave Intensifies, Over 100 Flights Delayed In Delhi-NCR

Date:

Over 100 flights were delayed and 10 cancellations reported after dense fog reduced visibility to zero in several areas  across the Delhi-NCR region on Friday.

With cold waves hitting the national capital, the city continued to shudder under the effect of cold, with fog shrouding many areas of the city. Meanwhile, the air quality in the national capital continued in the ‘poor’ category.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the AQI was recorded at 294 in Delhi today at 7 am.

Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), Mundka recorded an AQI of 324, Narela reached 320, Nehru Nagar hit 360, and Patparganj registered an AQI of 377. Additionally, Okhla Phase-2 reported an AQI of 351, while Sonia Vihar stood at 323. Notably, Vivek Vihar had the highest reading at 390. Other areas like R K Puram (344), Rohini (343), and Najafgarh (221) also exhibited unhealthy air quality. However, data from Punjabi Bagh remained insufficient in the last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, areas such as Mandir Marg (144) and Sri Aurobindo Marg (156) showed relatively lower but still moderate AQI levels.

Visuals from the AIIMS night shelter depicted individuals resting comfortably despite the ongoing air quality concerns in the city.
