Delhi-NCR woke up to a severe pollution spike after Diwali, with official AQI readings crossing 400 in several locations. But some phone apps showed local readings above 2,000, raising questions about the gap between official monitoring stations and people’s on-ground experience. Firecracker emissions, unfavourable wind conditions and seasonal farm fires added to the pollution burden across Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. Despite restrictions and staggered firecracker timings, fireworks continued through the night. If this happens every year, can seasonal pollution alerts really be treated as a surprise? Delhi’s recurring Diwali pollution crisis demands action from governments and citizens alike.
