Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Greater Noida and Noida recorded 'severe' air quality while Gurgaon's air quality was recorded in the 'very poor' category, it said. Light showers on Tuesday hit various parts of the city which led to further deterioration of air quality, the Centre-run System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting (SAFAR) said. Delhi's air quality remained in the 'severe' category as isolated showers in parts of the city made the air heavier and increased the pollution level, according to authorities.
