With dry season & pollution, city’s AQI declines on Bihu

The capital of Assam, Guwahati, has been having a lot of trouble with the air quality lately. The air quality has been classified as either "severe" or "very poor" in the last three days, and it has had a serious impact on people with good health and those with existing health problems.

Senior environmental scientist from the Assam Pollution Control Board, Manoj Saikia, said that the air quality degrades during the dry season, which is currently November to March.
