Air quality of Bahadurgarh continues to be “very poor” with Air Quality Index (AQI) reported at 366 today.

The AQI today was 41 points higher than Sunday, but lowest in the past four days. The Central Pollution Control Board recorded AQI 450 on Saturday, 481 on Friday and 416 on Thursday.

The poor air quality has taken a toll on the health of residents, especially children and people suffering from respiratory diseases. The number of patients suffering from breathing problems has risen considerably in government and private hospitals across the town.
