Delhi air quality turns 'very poor' post Diwali as people defy cracker ban

Following the Diwali celebrations across the national capital (Delhi), the air quality deteriorated to 'very poor' category. The air quality index (AQI) touched 386 on Friday morning, while the AQI stood at 341 on the day of Diwali.  Extremely poor pollution levels were previously predicted in Delhi due to firecracker emissions, unfavourable weather and a significant spike in stubble burning in neighbouring states.
