Data analysis

Delhi is not one city,
and its air proves it

On the evening of 8 September, one Delhi monitor read 35 and another read 211. Both were CPCB stations, both were reporting normally, and both were describing the same city at the same hour.

Data analysis

One state lost twice
the national gain

India's own forest report records a net increase of 156.41 km² between 2021 and 2023. Madhya Pradesh alone lost 371.54 km². Both figures are in the same table, and the second is the one that does not survive being averaged.
