GRAP 4 Restrictions Reimposed
Given the dangerously high AQI tiers, the Centre for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has reimposed restrictions underneath Stage Four of GRAP. The decision was made through an emergency meeting on Monday night, as Delhi’s AQI crossed the four hundred mark. Stage 4 of GRAP consists of several measures to combat the intense air pollution ranges:
Ban on production sports: All creation work within the location is suspended.
Restriction on polluting vehicles: Trucks carrying non-crucial items are barred from entering Delhi.
School training in hybrid mode: School training, except those for X and XII, will shift to hybrid mastering to lessen the publicity of outdoor air.
These regulations aim to minimize the rising levels of pollutants and improve the air quality in Delhi and its surrounding areas.
Recent History of AQI and GRAP Measures
On December 5, the Supreme Court allowed the CAQM to relax the Stage four curbs to Stage 2 due to an improvement in air quality. However, the current spike in pollution tiers has caused the quick return of stricter measures below Stage Four of GRAP.
With the developing concern over air pollutants in the location, the CAQM has been intently tracking the situation, and the government is urging residents to take precautions.
