Railway authorities are working to ensure passenger safety, but delays persisted throughout the morning. The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) dropped to 335, categorised as ‘very poor’ according to the Sameer app, a sharp decline from Saturday’s reading of 248.While air quality has been fluctuating, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) recently lifted Stage-III curbs under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) due to an earlier improvement in AQI levels.The cold weather has also driven many homeless individuals to seek refuge in night shelters, with authorities closely monitoring the situation to ensure adequate provisions are in place.
