Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 226, prompting the enforcement of anti-pollution measures under GRAP Stage-I, which comes into force when AQI levels range between 201 and 300.

The panel attributed the decline in air quality to unfavourable meteorological conditions and an increasing pollution trend over the past few days.

Citing forecasts by the India Meteorological Department, the CAQM said air quality in Delhi and surrounding areas is likely to remain in the “poor” category over the next two days, necessitating immediate preventive action.

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).
