The national capital woke up to a thick blanket of smog on Tuesday morning as air quality continued to languish in the 'very poor' category, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). However, this marks a slight improvement from the past week's 'severe' levels.

At 7 am, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 382, still categorised as 'very poor', reports ANI. This comes after several days of 'severe plus' AQI levels, offering some relief but underscoring the persisting air pollution crisis in the city.
