Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath took aim at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over the 1990 firing on kar sevaks, asking him to apologise before visiting Ayodhya.

In a post on X, he wrote, “Diwali wishes to everyone! Boundless Diwali wishes to my family members across the country.”

Readings from other key locations also pointed to poor air quality. The Akshardham temple area recorded an AQI of 336, while Anand Vihar registered 328, both falling in the ‘Very Poor’ category.
