Authorities have reimposed stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across the Delhi-National Capital Region due to the air quality index (AQI) deteriorating to the 'Very Poor' category.
The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage III has been activated in Delhi and its surrounding National Capital Region (NCR) as the air quality has worsened significantly. The decision comes after the Air Quality Index (AQI) crossed the threshold into the 'Very Poor' category.
This activation of GRAP Stage III mandates a series of stringent measures aimed at curbing air pollution. These typically include restrictions on certain types of construction activities, the operation of specific industries, and the use of diesel generator sets, among other preventive actions.
The implementation of these measures is a proactive step by the authorities to prevent further deterioration of air quality and to mitigate the health risks associated with severe pollution levels. Residents are advised to stay informed about the specific directives issued under GRAP Stage III.
