Latest images from US space agency Nasa show quite a few numbers of fire incidents occurring in the North-western region of India and adjoining regions in Pakistan.

They are likely due to crop burning in the area and will bring pollution to different parts of India, including Delhi-NCR.

The overall Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi touched the 301 mark by 10 pm on Sunday.

An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.

A layer of haze lingered over the national capital on Sunday as the city's air quality dropped to the "very poor" category, days before strict measures to fight air pollution come into force under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).

The AQI in Anand Vihar, Wazirpur, Vivek Vihar, Mundka, Bawana, Jahangirpuri was 327, 323, 317, 309, 302 and 300 respectively, according to Central Pollution Control Board data.
