Delhi's Air Quality Remains 'Very Poor' Amid Dense Fog

Significant disruptions to flights and trains continue as the India Meteorological Department predicts ongoing dense fog conditions.

• Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) continues to be in the 'very poor' category, with readings reaching the 'severe' category several times in the last 24 hours.
• Dense fog and reduced visibility have caused significant delays in both flights and trains in and out of Delhi.
• The India Meteorological Department predicts dense to very dense fog conditions over Delhi until December 31, with some areas experiencing these conditions for the subsequent three days.
• Low temperatures and reduced wind speeds, which lead to a stagnation of the atmosphere, are cited as reasons for the severe air quality.
• Further deterioration of air quality is feared if residents persist with bursting crackers on New Year's Eve.
