This spike was attributed to post-Diwali firecracker usage beyond the Supreme Court-mandated time limits. The AQI had been consistently high since early morning, ranging between 346 and 359. Despite claims of limited use of green firecrackers, pollution levels worsened significantly. The reading reflects a recurring annual challenge for Delhi during the festive season.
