Most monitoring stations in Delhi have reported AQI values between 320 and 370. Similarly, several areas in Noida and Ghaziabad are experiencing extremely poor air conditions.
The toxic air has led to a sharp increase in patients visiting hospitals with respiratory issues, asthma, allergies, and eye irritation.
