The minimum temperature in Kolkata has risen since last week by 2 to 3° Celsius. Kolkata’s air quality index showed poor between November 21 and 27. It even crossed Delhi's AQI for a few days. This led the West Bengal environment department to announce a ‘Graded Response Action Plan’ (GRAP) to fight the rising pollution scenario in Kolkata and its neighbouring towns like Howrah, Barrackpore, Durgapur, Haldia and Asansol.
