Gram it: That's how Delhiites are trying to find colour in the smoggy environs of the Capital. A view of the bright sadabahar flowers with the India Gate hidden in the plunging air quality is a perfect example to narrate this state of mind. Delhi’s air quality remained ‘poor’ on Saturday as it recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 233 at 7am on, according to data from the Sameer app developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
