SaralnamaRaipur's air quality improved after Diwali this year. The Air Quality Index (AQI) on the morning after Diwali was 102, falling in the 'normal' range. This is a significant improvement from previous years when the AQI ranged between 160-180 post-Diwali. Experts believe changing wind patterns and increased wind speed helped disperse pollutants. Despite the improvement, caution is still advised for the elderly and children. To maintain better air quality, residents should use fewer firecrackers and plant more trees. The AQI of 102, while in the 'normal' range, does not indicate completely clean air and can still affect vulnerable groups. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 10:39 IST; source: link)
