The reason behind the dip in the air quality was due to the┬аslow surface winds which led to the accumulation of pollutants on Tuesday. Experts predict that if there are sufficient rains, then the pollutants will be washed away, but if there are scanty rains, then the situation will further worsen.

An AQI between 201 and 300 is considered "poor", 301-400 "very poor" and 401-500 "severe". The Supreme Court earlier this week rebuked the neighbouring states over their incapability in handling the stubble burning situation.
