The city’s air quality continues to decline, with a dense layer of haze blanketing numerous areas and reducing visibility. Experts warn that as temperatures are likely to drop in the coming days, there may be no immediate improvement in current conditions. Poor visibility in the city has prompted many netizens to post videos and photos of the smog blanket on social media.

on Sunday evening, the Environment Ministry’s SAMEER app recorded Mumbai’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) at 180 (classified as ‘moderate’), marking the fourth consecutive day of thick smog. Earlier this week, the AQI briefly climbed to 198, entering the ‘poor’ category.
