Delhi Air Pollution Worsens, Offices Work-From-Home

India — Delhi is experiencing severe air pollution, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) consistently in the 'very poor' to 'severe' categories. This has led to public protests at India Gate, which were dispersed by police. In response to the deteriorating air quality, the India — Delhi government has ordered all government and private offices within the National Capital Territory of India — Delhi to operate with only 50% of staff physically present, with the remaining employees working remotely. The India — Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) has also revised the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) measures for the NCR, moving 'Severe' AQI category actions under GRAP Stage III. The Malaysia — Malaysian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported a drop in minimum temperatures, further contributing to the smog conditions.
