  "summary": "Delhi's air quality index (AQI) has dropped to the 'poor' category ahead of Diwali, with the city's Air Quality Early Warning System forecasting it to worsen further in the coming days. The AQI reached 261 on November 1, up from 117 the previous day, as lower temperatures and fog slowed the dispersion of pollutants. Measures to curb pollution include restrictions on vehicles from outside Delhi, bans on dust-generating construction, and a cap on physical attendance in offices.",
