According to a recent Times of India report, five of the ten cities with the highest pollution levels in India are situated in the state of Haryana. The finding highlights the severe air quality challenges faced by the region even before the winter season begins.
The Times of India has released data indicating that half of India’s most polluted cities lie within Haryana’s borders. The report lists the top ten cities with the highest pollution indices and shows that five of them are in this northern state.
Experts note that the high pollution levels are linked to industrial emissions, vehicular traffic, and agricultural practices common in the region. The findings come at a time when the country is preparing for the winter season, which typically exacerbates air quality problems.
Haryana’s authorities are reportedly reviewing measures to curb emissions and improve air monitoring. The data serves as a wake‑up call for stricter environmental regulations and public awareness campaigns across the state.
