Data from the Decision Support System for Air Quality Management indicated that transport contributed nearly 12 per cent to Delhi’s pollution on Tuesday, followed closely by neighbouring Jhajjar at 11.9 per cent. Construction activities accounted for 1.62 per cent, while other sources together made up the largest share at 51.7 per cent. Transport emissions are projected to rise to over 16 per cent on Wednesday.Meteorological conditions played a key role in the improvement. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported shallow fog across the city, marking a shift from the very dense fog seen a day earlier. Palam recorded the lowest visibility at 600 metres at 8 am, followed by 800 metres at Safdarjung, according to PTI.An IMD official told news agency PTI that the dense fog over north India on Monday had a cascading impact on air traffic, with disruptions continuing into Tuesday despite some improvement in visibility.Mahesh Palawat, Vice President at Skymet Meteorology, said strong westerly winds helped disperse pollutants. “Wind speeds touched 18 to 20 kmph during the afternoon and remained mostly between 10 and 12 kmph through the day. Moderate to strong winds are expected over the next two to three days, which could lead to further improvement,” he told PTI.
