The city took the spot earlier last week, before being knocked down to the 19th position on Monday morning, 5th August, after the mass blackout which took place in the weekend.

At 2pm on Thursday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded to be 160, with a fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration of 73.5 micrograms per meter cubic (µg/m3).
