Noida, March 2: The impact of strong surface winds in the National Capital Region (NCR) is now clearly visible in the air quality. Recent data shows a significant drop in the Air Quality Index (AQI), with nearly 90% of areas in Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad falling into the ‘Yellow Zone,’ indicating moderate air quality.
According to the latest figures from the Central Pollution Control Board, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board, several key areas in Delhi have recorded AQI levels in the moderate range.
In major regions of Delhi, the AQI readings are as follows: Alipur – 166, Anand Vihar – 258 (the highest), Ashok Vihar – 181, Aya Nagar – 147, Bawana – 207, Burari Crossing – 161, Chandni Chowk – 194, Commonwealth Sports Complex – 154, CRRI Mathura Road – 147, and DTU – 150.
These figures indicate that most monitoring stations in Delhi recorded AQI levels between 150 and 200, with Anand Vihar being in a relatively poor category at 258. In Noida, the situation is as follows: Sector-62 – 150, Sector-1 – 163, and Sector-116 – 160. Ghaziabad’s readings include Indirapuram – 163, Loni – 219, Sanjay Nagar – 153, and Vasundhara – 178.
The AQI in Loni, Ghaziabad, reached 219, which is higher than in other areas, while the rest remained in the Yellow Zone. The local weather forecast predicts a maximum temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 15 degrees on March 2, with temperatures rising to 33 degrees and a minimum of 16 degrees on March 3, and peaking at 34 degrees with a minimum of 16 degrees on Holi, March 4. Strong surface winds are expected during these days.
Meteorologists believe that the strong winds have dispersed pollutants, leading to improved AQI levels. However, the intense sunlight and dry winds may make the heat feel more intense. This year, the Holi festival will be celebrated under bright sunlight and windy conditions.
Health experts advise caution for the elderly, children, and individuals with respiratory issues. The strong winds have temporarily controlled pollution levels, providing some relief to NCR residents.
