On Sunday, the Union ministry of earth science’s air quality monitoring centre, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (Safar) said, “Satellite fire data indicate effective fire counts have decreased and around 700 which are mainly wheat crop burning in the northern part of India. Model trajectory and transport-level wind direction are not very favourable for fire-related intrusion, which has led to improvements in air quality in Delhi. SAFAR Model forecast improved wind speed and good ventilation for the next two days. Hence, AQI is likely to improve and stay in the moderate category for the next two days.”
