‘Severe’ AQI
Delhi’s air quality slipped into the severe category on Monday, with the city’s overall AQI recorded at 403 and levels crossing 400 at 25 monitoring stations, led by Vivek Vihar (460), Anand Vihar (459), Rohini (445), and Wazirpur (444), highlighting extremely hazardous pollution across large parts of the capital.
Flight operations hit
Air travel was badly affected due to low visibility. Delhi airport authorities said that flight operations were being carried out only under CAT III conditions, which allow aircraft to take off and land in very poor visibility.
In the morning, runway visibility was between 100–150 m at Delhi airport.
However, officials warned that delays and cancellations were likely. The airport added that ground staff were deployed across terminals to assist passengers and manage the situation, and travellers were advised to check flight updates directly with their airlines.
