Delhi Enforces GRAP Stage II as Air Quality Deteriorates to 'Very Poor'

The Commission for Air Quality Management has activated stricter measures to combat rising pollution levels in Delhi-NCR.

Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached 310, placing it in the 'very poor' category, prompting the implementation of GRAP Stage II.
Measures include bans on coal and firewood use, restrictions on diesel generators, and increased public transport services.
Authorities are intensifying dust control at construction sites and enhancing road cleaning to mitigate pollution.
Stubble burning in neighboring states and high vehicular emissions are significant contributors to the poor air quality.
Public advisories encourage the use of public transport and discourage private vehicle use to reduce emissions.
