Here's a roundup of headlines from across India on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8: Delhi awoke Sunday morning enveloped in smog with poor visibility after the previous night saw the worst air quality for Diwali eve in 10 years. The worst polluted pre-Diwali day was in 2016 when on October 29 the air quality index hit 404 on India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). On Saturday, the day before Diwali, Swiss ​group IQAir had ranked Delhi as the world's most polluted major city. IQAir said Delhi had a "very unhealthy" air quality index (AQI) of 201 on Sunday. The air quality is forecast to turn "severe" on Sunday, with Diwali celebrations adding to the pollution.
