Videos: Delhi-NCR blanketed by thick smog, Yamuna covered in foam amid pollution

Delhi continues to grapple with severe air pollution, as indicated by an Air Quality Index (AQI) reading of 398, placing it in the 'Very Poor' category on Saturday. Drone footage from various locales, including the Jama Masjid area at 7:30 am, Anand Vihar at the same time, and Chanakya Puri's Nehru Park at 6:29 am, showed the city engulfed by a thick layer of smog. Air quality in Uttar Pradesh has also plummeted into the 'Very Poor' category, with Noida Sector-44 also overwhelmed by smog as seen in a drone footage captured at 9:00 am.

Residents, particularly vulnerable groups such as senior citizens and children, are experiencing respiratory difficulties. Morning walkers in the capital have voiced their distress over the pollution's impact on health. A toxic foam was also seen on the Yamuna River, as captured in drone footage from the Kalindi Kunj area at 10:00 am.
