Delhi has recorded its cleanest air in eight years, with the lowest average Air Quality Index (AQI) for the January–May period in 2026, according to official data from the Commission for Air Quality Management. Residents and netizens celebrated the improvement on social media, expressing relief over clearer skies and better breathing conditions, while many also trolled former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his past handling of the pollution crisis. For years, Kejriwal had promised major improvements in Delhi's air quality, but critics argue that his government relied heavily on publicity campaigns, temporary measures, and blame games rather than addressing the root causes of pollution. Despite repeated assurances, the capital continued to struggle with severe air pollution, especially during the winter months. In contrast, supporters of the BJP government, which assumed power in Delhi, credit its coordinated efforts with the Centre and focus on long-term measures for the recent improvement in air quality. The positive trend has sparked widespread joy online, with many users welcoming the cleaner air as a much-needed respite and comparing it with the previous government's record on pollution. While significant challenges remain, the latest data is being viewed as an encouraging sign for the future of Delhi's environment. @thetrid.ent
