Delhi Pollution: Residents of Delhi woke up to ‘moderate’ air quality on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, for the fifth consecutive day. The 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded as 187 at 6 am today. Amid a decline in pollution levels, the CAQM (Commission for Air Quality Management) Sub-Committee on GRAP revoked Stage-II restrictions under the extant GRAP schedule in the entire NCR, with immediate effect. The Centre’s panel attributed the improvement in the air quality to a variety of factors such as favorable weather conditions, better mixing height, etc.
