- •Delhi's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) improved to 263, falling into the 'poor' category on Monday morning, January 5.
- •Despite the improvement, several areas like Anand Vihar, Chandni Chowk, and Nehru Nagar recorded 'very poor' AQI levels.
- •Locations including IGI Airport, IIT Delhi, and Lodhi Road registered 'moderate' air quality.
- •Dense fog severely disrupted flight operations at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport.
- •IndiGo and Air India flights experienced delays due to the prevailing foggy conditions in the capital.
