Delhi's air quality has worsened as stubble burning in Punjab continues, sparking a dispute between BJP and AAP.
Delhi's air quality index (AQI) has risen to hazardous levels, with particulate matter concentrations exceeding national safety limits.
The spike is attributed to large-scale stubble burning in Punjab, which releases smoke and pollutants that drift northward.
BJP leaders have accused the AAP government of failing to curb the practice, while AAP officials claim the issue is being addressed through stricter enforcement.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee has urged residents to use masks and limit outdoor activities until the AQI improves.
Environmental groups are calling for a coordinated response between state and central authorities to reduce emissions from agricultural residue burning.
