Jan 13, 2025: Aaj Ka AQI from BJP MP Manoj Tiwari’s home

The AQI reading at the nearest station was 325 or in the ‘very poor’ category. Outside the MP’s home, the PM 2.5 level hovered around 112, while the air detector pegged PM 10 at around 130.

In November last year, Tiwari was seen distributing N95 masks in the national capital. What steps has he taken to tackle air pollution?
