Gurgaon Chokes Again: Air Pollution Reaches Alarming Levels, Authorities Issue Emergency Advisories


 Gurgaon is currently experiencing very poor to poor air quality, making it one of the most polluted cities in the Delhi-NCR region right now. Recent air quality data and official reports show that the city’s environment remains stressed due to winter smog, stagnant winds, vehicular emissions, and regional pollution patterns. 

The Times of India

For several days, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Gurgaon has stayed in the ‘very poor’ category, with specific localities like Sector 51 repeatedly recording some of the worst pollution levels in the city.

As a result, authorities have taken emergency steps:

The Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram issued a work-from-home advisory for private companies to reduce outdoor exposure and commuting pollution.

Office start times were adjusted under GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) Stage-IV measures to help reduce congestion and exposure.

Hospitals and health experts also warned that outdoor activities should be minimized, especially for sensitive groups like children, the elderly, and those with respiratory or heart conditions.

Although recent strong winds helped push pollution levels down slightly and shifted the AQI from “very poor” toward “poor” in neighboring areas, the overall trend is still concerning, with pollution expected to worsen again as calm weather returns and winter smog intensifies.

⚠️ Causes Behind the Pollution Spike

Experts and environmental reports point to several major causes for the current air quality issues:

Winter Weather Effects: During winter, cool air and calm winds trap pollutants close to ground level, leading to smog formation.

Vehicle Emissions: Gurgaon’s heavy traffic and high number of private, commercial, and diesel vehicles significantly contribute to PM2.5 and nitrogen oxide pollutants.

Regional Pollution Drift: Pollutants from nearby regions like Delhi, Haryana and even crop residue burning in neighbouring states travel into the NCR, worsening air quality.

Construction and Dust: Ongoing construction and road dust add to the particulate matter in the air.

Although some improvements have been seen with favorable wind conditions, the AQI remains in an unhealthy range that impacts breathing and outdoor activities for many residents.

India Creates History: First Cargo Plane Lands in Antarctica, Marking a New Era in Polar Exploration

Image
 From Goa to the South Pole: India Marks History with First-Ever Cargo Plane Landing in Antarctica.  In a groundbreaking achievement, India has successfully landed its first-ever cargo aircraft in Antarctica — a milestone that signals a new era in the nation’s polar research and logistical capabilities. The heavy-lift Russian Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft, chartered by the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR), carried nearly 18 tonnes of essential scientific equipment, food supplies, and medical materials to India’s Antarctic research stations, Bharati and Maitri. Taking off from Goa’s Manohar International Airport and routed via Cape Town, the aircraft completed one of the most challenging missions ever attempted by India’s research logistics team. This marks the first time the country has used an air cargo route instead of the traditional and time-consuming sea route, cutting delivery time from weeks to mere days. Experts say this milestone enhances India’s ability...
