The chief attribution to this perilous smog comes from the mass burning of crop stubble in the neighboring states of Punjab and Haryana. Moreover, present weather conditions are further worsening the conditions. According to Skymet Weather, northwesterly winds are blowing over the national capital that is bringing these pollutants towards the national capital.

The prevalent weather scenario is not expected to improve for at least the next few days. This impenetrable layer of smog will continue over the region making the air unbreathable.
