For the first time this year, Delhi’s air quality index (AQI) has plunged into the ‘Severe’ category, triggering Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across the National Capital Region. The sudden spike in pollution levels has raised alarms among health experts, environmentalists, and residents alike.

️ What Happened?

• The overall city AQI hovered around 410, marking the worst air quality of the season.
• Meteorological conditions, including low wind speed and temperature inversion, have trapped pollutants close to the surface.

GRAP-3 Measures Now Active:

• Ban on construction and demolition activities, except for essential projects.
• Closure of brick kilns, stone crushers, and mining operations.
• Restrictions on diesel generator sets, except for emergency services.
• Increased frequency of mechanized road sweeping and water sprinkling.
