‘Severe air quality decline expected in NCR due to lack of winds’

Hindustan Times  

A severe decline in air quality is expected to grip several districts of the National Capital Region in the coming days due to a combination of heavy fog, smog, and the lack of crucial winds. The forecast suggests this poor air quality will persist for several more days This lack of wind movement has led to an accumulation of moisture, contributing to the heavy fog and smog that is now being observed across the region. In Meerut, district magistrate Deepak Meena instructed officials to ensure regular water sprinkling on roads to minimise dust pollution and strictly enforce penalties on illegal garbage burning. Chest specialist Dr Verottam Tomar described air pollution as a “silent killer” that severely affects children’s lungs.
