Strong winds and low moisture levels have led to improved air quality in Delhi-NCR this December, with clear skies and minimal fog aiding pollutant dispersion.
Heavy rainfall lashed Chennai accompanied by gusty winds with speeds reaching 70-80 kmph to 90 kmph in the coastal districts of north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh.
Motor pumps, generators, boats, and other equipment have been set up as well as NDRF and state teams have been deployed for efficient disaster management while senior officials stationed in their respective areas have been asked to monitor and coordinate activities with district authorities.
The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) tests showed that the air quality had deteriorated again on the morning of Nov 26, rising to 396.
The proposed annual climate funding of ₹25.3 lakh crore ($300 billion) falls significantly short of the ₹109.7 lakh crore ($1.3 trillion) demanded by developing nations for urgent climate action.
In the face of deteriorating air quality in the nation's capital, Delhi University has decided to switch to online classes until Nov 23 and Jawaharlal Nehru University until Nov 22.
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) advised Delhi and NCR governments to consider enabling public, municipal, and private offices to operate at 50% capacity, with the rest working from home. The central government may also allow its employees to work remotely. Until further notice, all schools will continue classes online.
