India's Delhi once again woke up under a thick blanket of smog as air pollution tightened its grip on the national capital, pushing the Air Quality Index above 450 and placing the city in the severe category. Officials said the episode ranked among the worst pollution spells of the year, driven by vehicle emissions, industrial activity, low wind speeds, falling temperatures and stubble burning. Station-level data showed IIT Delhi crossing 550, with several other areas remaining severely polluted. In response, authorities invoked GRAP-IV, halting construction and restricting diesel vehicles. Health experts warned of serious respiratory risks, while flight operations were also affected for a third consecutive day.
