Punjab Weather Blocks Farm Fire Smoke, Safeguarding Delhi's Air Quality

Farm fires across Punjab have been a persistent source of smoke, but recent meteorological patterns are keeping the haze from reaching Delhi. According to India Today, prevailing weather conditions in the state are preventing the smoke plume from drifting northward. As a result, Delhi's air quality index remains unaffected by the Punjab fires. The report highlights that the capital's air quality has not worsened despite the ongoing agricultural burnings.
