Chandigarh turns into gas chamber; at 343, AQI 2nd worst in country

Hindustan Times  

The Air Quality Index of the city continues to worsen with the average AQI of the three Chandigarh stations being the second worst in the country as per the daily bulletin released by the Central Pollution Control Board on Tuesday. The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee had called a meeting of the Graded Response Action Plan under member secretary TC Nautiyal where stubble burning was identified as a major contributor while other factors such as the approaching winter season, which has led to temperature inversion; the festive period, which increased the number of vehicles on roads, leading to traffic jams and pollution; and bursting of crackers were also noted as significant contributors. There was a spike in the number of farm fires seen in the days after Diwali and we are experiencing its effects.” Mor said Chandigarh residents could try and limit their traffic movement especially with Gurpurb coming close. India meteorological department Chandigarh director Surender Paul said, “Because of a western disturbance and a low pressure area over the region, easterly winds are blowing which carry humidity with them which is leading to the formation of smog.” Chances of smog will continue up to November 15.
