DElhi's young police lieutenant regulator Taranjit Singh Sandhu on sat called for “collective elbow grease” in improving the capital's air quality, after some children he met at a local cafe shared with him their concerns about pollution.“Met a wonderful family at our local colony café today. The children raised an important concern about Delhi’s AQI & the air we breathe. Their awareness was truly heartening,” he posted on X. He did not detail what the children said or suggested.“Improving air quality requires a collective effort. I would welcome practical ideas & suggestions,” Sandhu added. Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 145, in the 'moderate' category, on Saturday morning, an improvement from 189 on Friday evening, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data.And the AQI is likely to remain in the 'moderate' category for the next few days, according to the Air Quality Early Warning System (AQEWS).According to the CPCB, an AQI between 0 and 50 is considered 'good', 51 to 100 'satisfactory', 101 to 200 'moderate', 201 to 300 'poor', 301 to 400 'very poor', and 401 to 500 'severe'.Delhi suffers from severely bad air quality several months a year, particularly in the winter months.
