As Delhi's air quality reaches severe levels with an AQI of 361, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announces comprehensive anti-pollution measures including elimination of traditional cooking fuels in slums, staggered office hours starting November 15, and public advisories for carpooling and work-from-home arrangements. Despite some improvement over last year's pollution levels, localized monitors in areas like Anand Vihar have breached the 400 AQI mark, with stubble burning contributing 30.91% to the crisis.
