Delhi Records 5th Consecutive Day of ‘Satisfactory’ AQI; Authorities Step Up Anti-Pollution Measures

Date:

New Delhi: For the fifth consecutive day, Delhi has maintained a ‘Satisfactory’ Air Quality Index (AQI) — a significant improvement for a city often ranked among the most polluted globally. On Sunday, the capital recorded an average AQI of 92, with Punjabi Bagh emerging as the cleanest hotspot at just 65.

Delhi Environment Minister and BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa shared the data, crediting the success to targeted and intensive pollution-control measures implemented over the last 48 hours by civic and enforcement agencies under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

Key Highlights from the 48-Hour Clean-Up Drive:

  • 218 old, polluting vehicles removed from circulation
  • 11,157 challans issued for violations
  • Over 6,475 km of roads cleaned
  • 11,410 metric tonnes of garbage cleared
  • Water sprayed over 1,350+ km of roads and public areas

Sirsa emphasized that this was not a “photo-op,” but focused governance backed by measurable outcomes, as Delhi transitions toward a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) vision.

“We’re not chasing headlines. We’re building real change,” Sirsa posted on social media platform X.

Political Messaging with Environmental Accountability

The campaign aligns with the Centre’s larger environmental and urban development vision, while also reinforcing the Delhi government’s narrative on accountability and delivery. With 13 pollution hotspots being actively monitored and cleaned, officials claim a long-term action plan is underway.
