Delhi Records Cleanest July in a Decade, Environment Minister Says
Delhi's air quality has improved a lot recently!
In July, the air was the cleanest it's been in ten years.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) measures air quality, and recently, it was at 67, which is considered 'Satisfactory'.
This year, there have already been many days with good or moderate air quality.
The government has been working hard by cleaning roads and garbage.
The Environment Minister said it's because of teamwork and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
The improvement is a result of various efforts and citizen involvement.
Delhi recorded its cleanest July in a decade.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) on Wednesday was 67, categorized as 'Satisfactory'.
2025 has seen 118 days of 'Good', 'Satisfactory', or 'Moderate' air quality.
