A report released by CREA on Saturday highlighted that the impact of stubble burning on Delhi’s air quality was significantly lower compared to last year.
As per the official data, Delhi witnessed 23 ‘very poor’ days, six ‘severe’ days and one ‘poor’ day during the month. Despite the deteriorating air quality, the contribution of stubble burning averaged only 7 per cent in November, compared to 20 per cent last year.
