New Delhi claimed the top spot in global air pollution rankings ahead of the Diwali festival, with its Air Quality Index measured at 483—a level classified as hazardous. The severe pollution, compounded by dense smog, prompted authorities to switch schools in Delhi and surrounding areas to remote learning. The reading underscores the recurring public health crisis in India's capital, where seasonal factors such as festival fireworks, crop burning and winter weather patterns routinely push air quality to dangerous extremes. Officials and residents will be watching whether conditions improve after Diwali and as winter sets in, with further school closures or emergency measures possible if the index remains elevated.
