New Delhi, November 30

The minimum temperature in the national capital settled at 12.6 degrees Celsius on Thursday, two notches above the season’s average, the weather department said.

Generally cloudy skies with very light rain or thundershowers are expected during the day, an India Meteorological Department bulletin said.

The relative humidity at 8.30 am was 96 per cent.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) was 366 at 9 am, according to the data by the Central Pollution Control Board.

While six out of 37 monitoring stations (Punjabi Bagh, Bawana, Mundka, Nehru Nagar and Jahangirpuri) recorded AQI in the “severe” category, at 30 stations it was “very poor”.

According to the weather department, the maximum temperature is expected to hover around 24 degrees Celsius.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
