The Delhi government, led by the Aam Aadmi Party, is urging citizens to use public transport in the next 15 crucial days as the capital city grapples with severe air quality. Public awareness campaigns, including jingles, are being promoted to encourage public transport usage. The government is taking measures to combat pollution, prompted by the highest recorded Air Quality Index (AQI) in Mundka.

Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) crossed 400 on Thursday, prompting the Centre's pollution control panel to enforce Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), which is typically implemented in the region during the winter season.

The actions are part of the Stage III response under the GRAP, central government's comprehensive strategy to manage air pollution during winter season.
