New Delhi, Dec 17: Authorities in Delhi-NCR have enforced Stage-IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) after air quality deteriorated to the ‘Severe Plus’ category. With the Air Quality Index crossing extremely hazardous levels, the highest set of restrictions has been imposed to curb pollution sources and reduce public exposure, especially among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly and those with respiratory conditions.
GRAP-IV is an emergency response mechanism triggered during extreme pollution episodes. The measures focus on restricting high-emission activities, regulating traffic and limiting outdoor exposure until air quality shows sustained improvement.
