Delhi woke to thick smog on Saturday as air quality stayed very poor ahead of Diwali. The city's overall Air Quality Index stood at 364 at 8 am, according to Central Pollution Control Board data, down slightly from 382 the previous afternoon. Several areas were severe, including IIT Delhi at 443, Punjabi Bagh at 433, and Narela at 409. The Commission for Air Quality Management invoked Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan on Friday to prevent deterioration. Restrictions target older vehicles and construction, while schools switched to hybrid.
