AQI reached 312 on Monday, marking the first 'very poor' air quality of the season. Doctors are advising precautions, especially for those with chronic conditions, recommending masks and regular medication. The surge in pollution has led to an increase in patients reporting breathing difficulties and chest infections. In response to the AQI entering the 301-400 range, Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage 2 measures have been invoked to curb pollution levels.
