Delhi Air Pollution Supreme Court - Curbs in Delhi Were Reduced From GRAP 4 To GRAP 2

The Commission of Air Quality Management (CAQM) has immediately eased strict pollution limitations under stage 4 of GRAP in the nation's capital and neighboring districts, providing Delhi with a reprieve from poisonous air and better air quality. Nonetheless, the national capital region is subject to pollution limitations under GRAP stage 2. 

Since stage 4 of GRAP in Delhi NCR was deemed unnecessary by the Supreme Court, the pollution limitations have been loosened. Since November 24, Delhi's air quality has steadily improved, according to CAQM. The air quality in Delhi is'moderate', with an AQI of 165 reported today.

To preserve Delhi's better air quality, the Supreme Court panel warned that the pollution limits outlined in GRAP 2 should remain in effect. 

In order to combat dust, stage 2 of GRAP will use strategies including automated road sweeping, the use of anti-smog guns, and daily watering, with a particular focus on areas that have been recognized as hotspots for air pollution. In order to minimize the use of diesel generator sets, power providers must guarantee a continuous supply. To inform people about the levels of air pollution, alerts will be broadcast on radio, television, and newspapers.

Additionally, individuals are encouraged to use public transportation and avoid driving their own cars whenever possible in order to prevent the Delhi NCR's air quality index from falling into the "very poor" or "severe" category once more. Along with routinely changing the air filters in their cars at the suggested intervals, people are also asked to pick a less crowded route to their destination, even if it takes a little longer.
