New Delhi's air quality was very poor for the second day, with an air quality index (AQI) reading of 327 on Tuesday, and is likely to remain in the ‘very poor’ to ‘poor' category for the next six days, according to the Centre's System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR).

Delhi's air quality worsens, with AQI at 385, prompting implementation of GRAP-II to combat pollution effectively.

Delhi's air quality is expected to deteriorate further, with the AQI likely to exceed 400 and fall into the 'severe' category on Tuesday and Wednesday, due to stubble burning in neighbouring states and unfavourable wind conditions.

National capital's average air quality on Monday slipped into the 'very poor' category for the first time in the season, as the residents of the city woke up to a hazy morning with smog also visible at some places.
