Delhi Pollution: AQI as high as Delhi in many cities!

In light of the severe air pollution in Delhi and the NCR, the Haryana government's Directorate of Education has ordered the closure of schools up to Class 5. This decision was taken, particularly in light of the worsening situation in Haryana districts bordering Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), where pollution levels have reached the "red zone." Increased humidity, combined with stubble burning and vehicle exhaust, has led to the AQI being in the severe category. This has made breathing in the open air difficult. Cities like Jind recorded an AQI of 418.
