\"Thank<\/div>\n
New Delhi: Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai<\/a> on Friday expressed gratitude to Delhiites for “largely refraining from bursting firecrackers” on Diwali, which helped prevent the city’s air quality index (AQI) from slipping into the ‘severe’ category. “Thanks to the responsible actions of many residents who avoided using firecrackers, we managed to avoid a severe AQI<\/a> reading,” Rai said. <\/p>\n

However, he said that while most residents adhered to the ban, some still burst crackers, and the air quality could have improved further if the ban had been completely adhered to. <\/p>\n

In a continued push to maintain the air quality in national capital, the government launched a special dust-control campaign<\/a> on Diwali. <\/p>\n

Rai said two mobile smog guns<\/a> were deployed in each Assembly constituency, actively spraying water on roads to minimise dust and further mitigate pollution levels<\/a>.<\/div>\n
