Delhi continued to struggle with 'very poor' air quality on Thursday morning, even as there was a slight improvement in pollution levels, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 312 around 7 am, according to data issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

Although the AQI showed a marginal improvement compared to Wednesday morning, when it stood at 341, pollution levels across the national capital remained firmly in the 'very poor' category. The prolonged decline in air quality continues to pose serious health concerns, especially for children, the elderly and those suffering from respiratory illnesses.
