Delhi weather update: Winter arrives as National Capital records coldest November day in three years amid ‘very poor’ AQI, temperature drops to...

Delhi had an unusually cold morning on Sunday, with a minimum temperature of 9°C, approximately 4.5 degrees below the typical temperature for this time of year. This marks the coldest November day for the city since 2022, when the temperature dropped to 7.3°C. In comparison, the lowest temperatures recorded in November 2023 and 2024 were 9.2°C and 9.5°C, respectively. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts shallow fog for Monday morning. The maximum temperature is anticipated to be around 25°C, while the minimum may stay around 9°C. Despite the cold, Delhi experienced dense smog on Sunday. Delhi-NCR AQI The national capital woke up to dense smog on Monday morning as the average Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 359 at 7 am, falling under the 'very poor' category despite the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP)-III in effect across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). A layer of thick smog engulfed several areas, showing little to no improvement from Sunday morning's AQI of 385. Bawana recorded the highest AQI level of 427 at 7 am, falling under the 'severe' category. In contrast, NSIT Dwarka recorded the lowest AQI of 225, according to the data by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Visuals from India Gate and Kartavya Path are blanketed in a layer of toxic smog as the AQI in the area is 341 in the 'very poor' category, as claimed by the CPCB. Chandani Chowk recorded an AQI of 383, RK Puram 366, ITO 394, Punjabi Bagh 384, Patparganj 369, Pusa 365, and Dwaraka Sector-8 356. A layer of toxic smog lingers in the air of Anand Vihar as the Central Pollution Control Board claimed that the Air Quality Index around the area is 383, categorised as 'very poor'. The thick smog, along with deteriorating air quality, mercury continued to hover around the 9 Degree Celsius mark, with some areas recording even lower temperatures. As per CPCB classification, an AQI between 0-50 is considered 'good', 51-100 'satisfactory', 101-200 'moderate', 201-300 'poor', 301-400 'very poor', and 401-500 'severe'. GRAP-3 curbs imposed in Delhi-NCR Following the deteriorating air quality in the national capital, the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) III was implemented on November 11 across Delhi by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). The measures aim to control emissions through stricter restrictions on construction, vehicular movement and industrial operations. Under GRAP-III, curbs include a ban on most non-essential construction activities, restrictions on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers, suspension of classes for students up to Class 5 with a shift to hybrid or online learning, curbs on industrial operations dependent on non-clean fuel, and a ban on non-emergency diesel generator sets.

The body of 28-year-old Raju Singh Gaud was recovered on Saturday night. With the discovery of three more workers, the confirmed death toll has now reached four. Officials are continuing search and rescue efforts, hoping to find any other individuals who may still be trapped in the mine. An FIR has been lodged by Obra police against Krishna Mining Works, the firm holding the lease for the site, and two of its staff members, Madhusudan Singh and Dilip Keshri, under Section 105 (culpable homicide).

Bigg Boss 19: MASSIVE fight between Tanya Mittal, Amaal Mallik, calls her 'dhongi': 'I don't want you to even...

Bigg Boss 19: Drama never stops in the Bigg Boss house, no matter what. This week, the taskmaster will host the much-awaited Family Week, where family members of the contestants surprise them and bring some light, comical, and interesting moments to the show. However, before guests arrive, a major fight breaks out between Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik, and that too, for the most ridiculous reason. In the new promo, Tanya, Malti, and Kunickaa were busy with their cooking in the kitchen. Suddenly, Amaal comes in and warns Tanya, "Tu apna glass dho ke dikha (Try to wash your own glass)." Hearing his arrogant tone, Tanya hits back, saying, "Tu rok ke dikha. This is my choice (stop me if you can)." Amaal and Tanya's war of words Amaal gets miffed with Tanya's reply, and he asserts, "This is your agenda to hurt me." To this, Tanya reverts, "Hurting you would be the last thing." Amaal cuts her off, "I don't even want you to look at me." Tanya tries to justify herself, saying, "Bahut cup dhulwaye hai issne (Amaal)." The composer shuts her down, "Main usse baat kar raha hu. Tu chup baith." Then Amaal attacks her personality, saying, "Dhong racha jaata hai yaha ghar mein." He mimics Mittal and recalls her words, "Main toh aise baat hi nahi kar sakti. Main toh kitni bholi hoon. Main spiritual hoon." Tanya gets irritated and slams Amaal, "Don't give me this nonsense, Amaal." It will be interesting to see how their ugly argument will end. Tomorrow Episode Promo: It's Amaal Mallik VS. Tanya Mittalpic.twitter.com/OMlH48KSJv — BBTak (@BiggBoss_Tak) November 16, 2025 Bigg Boss 19 finale Bigg Boss 19 will have its grand finale in the next three weeks.
