Health Protection Agency (HPA) has urged Maldivians and those residing in the country to take precautionary measures due to the impact of air pollution from the Himalayan region of North India affecting Maldives.
According to the Maldives Meteorology Office (MET), there has been an increase in haze or blurriness in the air in different parts of the country due to the shift of wind from the west to the east, causing dust and factory waste crossing the Bay of Bengal and reaching Maldives.
