Delhi's air pollution crisis came under fresh scrutiny on Diwali night after several air quality monitoring stations across the national capital stopped reporting real-time AQI data. Data gaps were reported at key locations, including Nehru Nagar, RK Puram, Dwarka and JNU. At RK Puram, the AQI had reportedly touched 924 before updates stopped. The Aam Aadmi Party has accused the Rekha Gupta-led Delhi government of halting pollution monitoring at stations where AQI levels were rising, raising questions over transparency and the availability of pollution data.
