Rajasthan air quality crisis has reached a serious stage, with Jaipur now struggling under hazardous pollution levels. Air quality across most cities has deteriorated sharply, making breathing difficult for residents.
In Jaipur, the average Air Quality Index crossed 250, placing the city in the severe category. Several localities recorded alarming readings. Adarsh Nagar touched 248, Agarsen Housing Society 262, and Chitrakoot peaked at 279. Gopalbadi recorded 270, Subhash Colony 277, and Shastri Nagar stood at 257. Even open areas showed no relief from pollution.
Conditions worsen during mornings and evenings. Midday sunlight brings warmth, but polluted air continues to pose risks. Doctors warn that children, elderly people, and asthma patients face the highest danger.
Other Rajasthan cities show similar trends. Bhilwara recorded 267, Chittorgarh 273, Alwar 246, and Sikar 232. Bhiwadi reported an extremely severe AQI of 448. Ganganagar touched 350, while Mount Abu, a hill station, reached 161.
Compared nationally, Bengaluru and Chennai reported better air quality. Delhi, however, recorded 345. Experts say rising pollution is causing lung, eye, and skin problems. Authorities urge citizens to limit outdoor activity and follow safety guidelines.
