The government's monitoring agency, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research said that the AQI was likely to remain within the lower end of 'Very Poor' or within the 'Poor' category for the next three days. It said, “For the next 3 days, upper-level winds are from [the] northwest direction that is likely to increase transport of pollutants from stubble burning region if fire counts increase. AQI is likely to be within ‘Poor’ or ‘lower end of very poor’ for the next 3 days due to [a] net effect of inflow of pollutants and local dispersion and ventilation.”
