NEW DELHI: A day after festival of Diwali, the national capital witnessed light to moderate rain in some parts of the city.
On the day of Diwali, the air quality of the city had turned "severe" because of stubble burning and also the bursting of the firecrackers.
Earlier, the MET department had predicted light rain for Sunday under the influence of a western disturbance. It is still to be seen if it is enough to wash away pollutants, Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of the IMD's regional forecasting centre, said.
This time, the India Meteorological Department has said that a fresh western disturbance is likely to increase the wind speed and improve the air quality in Delhi-NCR post Diwali.
