New Delhi experienced severe air quality for the third consecutive day on Friday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 409, as the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reported. The city remained enveloped in smog, which reduced visibility and disrupted traffic and flight operations.

As the city choked under severe air pollution for the third day in a row, stringent anti-pollution measures under Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) came into force on Friday, following an order from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM).

The city's air quality plunged into the severe category on Wednesday, following 14 days of 'very poor' conditions. Vehicular emissions, farm fires, and unfavourable weather--including low wind speeds--have exacerbated pollution levels in Delhi and nearby areas.
