The national capital region has been reeling under harmful levels of air pollution ever since Diwali, majorly owing to stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

Strong, gusty winds and a clear sky with ample sunlight paved the way for an improved air quality in and around Delhi-NCR. All private and government schools in the region reopened after being shut due to severe air pollution.
