Noida & Greater Noida Choke: India's Top Polluted Cities

Gautam Budh Nagar, encompassing Noida and Greater Noida, continues to suffer from severe air pollution, ranking as India's second and third most polluted urban areas. On Tuesday, Noida recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 373 and Greater Noida 364, both categorized as 'very poor.' These figures represent a marginal improvement, yet the air quality has remained in the 'very poor' or worse category for at least 18 consecutive days in both cities.

Residents express that the perceived improvements are barely noticeable, with the air still feeling unhealthy and hazy, causing eye irritation for some. Meanwhile, weather forecasters indicate that the current atmospheric conditions are unlikely to change soon. The absence of active western disturbances over the northern mountains means that significant relief from the pollution is not expected in the coming week.
