Delhi has recorded its first severe air pollution day of 2025, with AQI levels spiking to 428. This dangerous deterioration from the previous "very poor" air quality is attributed to stagnant weather conditions and local emissions, creating health risks for all residents, especially those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. The last comparable air quality crisis occurred in December 2024.
