What's allowed, what's not as GRAP-1 restrictions imposed in Delhi-NCR amid ‘poor’ air quality

The Commission for Air Quality Management on Thursday enforced Stage I measures in Delhi-NCR under the Graded Response Action Plan after air quality deteriorated to the “poor” category, officials said.

"The AQI of Delhi has been showing an increasing trend owing to unfavourable meteorological conditions and recorded as 226 ('Poor' Category) today. Further, the forecast by IMD and IITM has also predicted AQI to remain in the 'Poor' category in the next two days," a senior official said, according to PTI.

"The sub-committee of CAQM, accordingly, decided to invoke all actions under stage-1 ('Poor' air quality) of the extant GRAP in the entire NCR, with immediate effect," the official added.
