As the Air Quality Index (AQI) saw a spike, sales in the city's more prominent markets started slowing around the November 16 weekend. "Weekends usually are good days for us, but we felt the impact of pollution this time, with sales dropping by as much as 25-30 per cent," said Atul Bhargava, president of the New Delhi Traders Association.
According to the latest Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data, air quality in Delhi was in the 'severe' category on Tuesday, with an AQI of 460 at 4 pm, marginally better than the 494 recorded the previous day.
