Delhi-NCR air pollution rises as rainfall ceases
Air pollution levels are rising across the Delhi-NCR region following the cessation of recent rainfall. The India Meteorological Department forecasts clear skies and stable temperatures for the coming days, which is contributing to the accumulation of pollutants.
