-PTI

NEW DELHI: A ban on construction activities came into force in the national capital on Thursday as Delhi's air quality was on the brink of turning "severe" due to stubble burning in the adjoining regions and unfavourable meteorological conditions, authorities said.

The overall air quality index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded at 393, which falls in the "very poor" category and is just seven points from turning severe, according to data by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

Gurgaon, Faridabad and Noida recorded an AQI of 416, which falls in the "severe" category, while air quality was "very poor" in Ghaziabad and Greater Noida.

Eleven areas in Delhi recorded "severe" air quality while 16 areas recorded "very poor" air quality, according to the CPCB data.
