Taking account of the poor air quality in the national capital IMD scientist VK Soni on Monday said that there will be some improvement in the air quality after the implementation of GRAP, but it would remain in ‘very poor’ category until October 26.

Speaking to ANI on Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, Soni said “Yesterday it reached ‘very poor’ category. The AQI was at 313 but this time GRAP Stage 2 was implemented much earlier and because of that, I think there will be some improvement in air quality. Our forecast is that the Air Quality will remain in the ‘very poor’ category till 26 October.”(ANI)
