The trouble of smog has started once again in Delhi. Smog-covered Sky appeared in many areas of Delhi on Monday.

Now with this, the level of pollution will increase in the coming days and people will have trouble breathing. According to media reports, the air quality index can reach 300 in the next 24 hours. On Sunday it was 270, which was 48 points more than Saturday. Observing the situation, doctors have advised people to come out wearing masks. With this, they have also forbidden to walk outside for a few days.

Why pollution is increasing

Stubble burning in the states around Delhi is one of the major reasons for increasing pollution in the capital. In fact, this year the monsoon rains have been 10 per cent more than normal across the country.

According to media reports, NASA has seen the burning of stubble burning in 1645 places from 1 to 14 October. These places also include Punjab, Haryana and Pakistan. The effect of this is being seen in Delhi, as the direction of the wind is towards Delhi at the moment. If the news is to be believed, then in the next 24 hours, the smoke of the stubble will affect Delhi by 8-9 per cent. It is being told that the air has become very bad in the three cities of NCR, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Noida.
