After a little bit of improvement, the National Capital continued to experience 'very poor' air quality on Tuesday morning, the city with experienced air quality index (AQI) of 323, as per the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR-India).
“Now that the effect of rain is gradually reducing we are increasing this campaign to sprinkle water across Delhi," said Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai.
Rai, however, admitted that rain and wind dispersed the pollution to a significant extent, as now it was down to 225 from 450.
The AQI deteriorated further from Sunday morning after having touching 350 mark.
Addressing a press conference here, the Delhi Environment Minister said a total 586 teams have been formed to monitor the construction-demolition ban.
"Thirty per cent lesser firecrackers were burst in Delhi this Diwali, people are becoming aware", said the environment minister.
On Tuesday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the results of actions made by Delhi residents to curb pollution in the city are encouraging but still there is a long way to go.
Speaking to reporters, Rai said, "The level of pollution increases every year in winter. We celebrate Diwali every year. This Diwali, we appeal to all Delhiites to help in curbing the pollution. Try not to burst crackers. There is an appeal especially to the youth to take a pledge to stop pollution in their city."
