Mumbai is facing worsening air pollution following Diwali celebrations, with several parts of the city experiencing hazy skies and poor air quality.

Firecrackers, vehicle emissions, construction dust and other local pollution sources have contributed to the deteriorating conditions.

Weak winds have made the situation worse, allowing pollutants to remain trapped near the ground instead of dispersing.

Residents are advised to avoid prolonged outdoor activities when air quality is poor and wear suitable masks when necessary.

Improved wind conditions could help disperse pollutants, although continued emissions may keep pollution levels elevated.
