Delhi | Sunday | 17th November, 2019

Summary:

"A very strong correlation can be seen between stubble burning and the spike in air pollution in North India. As soon as stubble burning began in the first week of Oct, the AQI started rising. In another tweet, the chief minister said, " The stubble burning has stopped and with it, the air quality in Delhi has improved. A few people say that stubble burning contributes only 5 per cent to air pollution in Delhi. So with reduction of only 5 per cent , has the air quality index improved from over 500 to 200?.
