Delhi's air quality has continued to deteriorate. At one in the afternoon, numerous parts of the capital's air quality index fell into the "severe" category, between 400 and 500. Some places in Delhi are hovering over 500 in the index, with pollution levels at their highest level since January. The National Capital Region's officials have been told to enforce restrictions like a ban on construction and demolition operations under the stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan in light of the deteriorating pollution levels in Delhi. According to the most recent air quality forecast, it is expected to get worse and stay in the "very poor" category for at least a few days, which could result in health advisories. AAP members today demonstrated in front of the Delhi Lieutenant Governor's office, alleging that he deliberately disapproved of their "Red Light on, Gaadi Off" campaign to reduce pollution. However, the LG has retaliated, claiming that AAP "lied" about the launch date of the campaign.
