Mumbai city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) continues to remain at the wrong end of the spectrum even as the city temperatures dip. On Saturday, Mumbai witnessed its worst AQI since January 2016 fire at the Deonar dumping ground. The AQI then had dropped to 341. An AQI of 301-400 is considered very poor and triggers a health warning. Meanwhile, Mumbai city continues to report new cases below 500.
