If you live in the national capital region and are breathing in the relatively clean air, then breathe deeply as we are just over a month away from the foulest air of the year- Diwali. Air Pollution is killing us, an empirically proven fact. What the Supreme Court now wants to know from the pollution control boards of the NCR region are the steps that they propose to introduce to tackle air pollution this winter.

Delhi's air quality continued to remain in the 'poor' category on Sunday, with the national capital recording an overall Air Quality Index of 248, according to data from the CPCB.
As much as 65 per cent of Delhi's air pollution in 2025 originated from outside the city, mainly from other NCR districts, while local sources accounted for the remaining 35 per cent, a study said.
The national capital on Saturday recorded a minimum temperature of 8.1 degrees Celsius, 1.2 notches above the season's average, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in NCR and Adjoining Areas on Friday revoked curbs imposed under GRAP 3 following improvement in air quality, officials said.
