The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) stated that the maximum AQI cap of 500 is a deliberate design feature aligned with global standards, as numbers beyond 500 do not alter the 'Severe' health advisory category. Official data relies on a scientifically validated 24-hour rolling average to measure sustained human exposure, while private apps often track instant hourly spikes using uncalibrated, low-cost sensors. Because private apps track instant readings, they spike faster during peak pollution but drop much lower than the official NAQI once air quality starts clearing up.

Heartbreaking moment tonight watching a helpless cow tremble in fear right on the street as loud firecrackers burst near her. It is deeply painful to see voiceless animals suffer because of our celebrations...
इनकी बेजुबान आँखें बहुत कुछ कहती हैं, पर हम अपनी आतिशबाजी के शोर में इनकी चीखें नहीं सुन पाते। जरा सोचिए, हमारे कुछ पलों का जश्न कैसे इनकी पूरी रात का डर बन जाता है?
The PM, HM, NSA, all BJP CMs, all BJP MPs and MLAs are completely totally silent on the murder of environment due to firecrackers on Diwali night, across many cities and metros of India.
AQI > 1000 at countless places already.
These chaps have left crores and crores of Indians to suffer and have chosen to dissociate themselves from the basic responsibility of clean air and public health. They are silent and in their own air-purified world. Safe.

आजच BBC हिंदीने सत्ताधारी नेते घरी येऊन गेल्यावर काय घडते हे दाखवले आहे. मोदी घरी आले. न मागता कर्ज माथी मारले. एजंट्सनी वसूलीचा तगादा लावला. आता असे वाटतेय की मोदी घरी आले नसते तर बरे झाले असते. ज्या घरी भेट दिली त्यांच्या या भावना आहेत. सध्या आपल्याकडेही असाच इव्हेंट सुरु आहे.

Allahabad High Court judge says India is yet to liberate itself from English language even after 80 years of independence
A gentleman on LinkedIn asked why SB seems so excited about India’s decline after watching The Friendship Files. He’s got the narrative completely wrong. I’m not excited. I’m deeply disappointed by the moral decline that has allowed crony capitalism to be normalized and justified. I want India to succeed, not decline.
Many years ago, I visited the Commissioner of Income Tax’s home. He served the finest alcohol, including Cristal Champagne, Grey Goose Vodka, and Blue Label Whiskey, and boasted of procuring 20,000 acres of land in Australia. How is such blatant corruption tolerated in India? Do these people have no self-respect or conscience?
#WATCH | Delhi | Addressing at a felicitation programme at Rouse Avenue Court, Chairman of the Bar Council of Delhi, Advocate Nitin Ahlawat says, "Since our skills are our only true capital and asset, we intend to launch a skill-development program for lawyers. Very soon, we will host a grand event in your presence. Furthermore, the Bar Council operates several welfare schemes. However, following a Supreme Court ruling, the enrollment fee has been reduced—it now stands at a total of Rs 750, with Rs 600 allocated to the State Bar and Rs 150 to the Bar Council. This has impacted our welfare schemes; hence, we require your assistance. We have filed a review petition against this ruling. In short, we need your support to ensure these schemes can continue..."
