Demolition of twin towers will not hit Delhi air

NEW DELHI: The demolition of the twin towers in Noida is unlikely to impact Delhi’s air quality due to meteorological factors.
The dust created after the crash is not expected to move towards Delhi due to opposite wind direction and speed. Currently, the city’s air quality is hovering in the “satisfactory” to “moderate” category.
Gufran Beig, founder project director, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research, said, “If eco norms are followed, like covering of the site, the dust will spread only in the adjoining areas.”
Delhi’s air quality on Friday was in the “moderate” category with an overall AQI of 113.
Meanwhile, the maximum temperature rose from 33.7 degrees Celsius on Thursday to 35.1 degrees, one degree above normal, on Friday. The minimum temperature was 25.8 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal. The relative humidity oscillated between 58% and 87%.
According to IMD, rain is unlikely, but cloudy skies are expected on Saturday and Sunday. Light rain or thundershowers are expected on August 29, while there may be very light rain or drizzle on August 30.
