The authorities have removed curbs due to pollution in Delhi and nearby cities, after light rain improved air quality in the region.<\/p>\n
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in a statement today said it has revoked GRAP-4, a set of rules to be followed when air quality index (AQI) goes above the 400-mark.<\/p>\n
The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) level 3 will remain in effect.<\/p>\n
“CAQM sub-committee on GRAP… straightaway invoked both Stage-III and Stage-IV of revised GRAP when the AQI of Delhi breached the 350 mark… as the AQI of the day for yesterday recorded 386 and started to exhibit a sharp increasing trend, indicating a possibility to even breach the 400 mark,” the CAQM said in the statement.<\/p>\n
Delhi’s AQI today was recorded at 302, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) bulletin.<\/p>\n
“As per the dynamic model and forecasts for meteorological conditions and air quality index made available by IMD\/IITM, the overall air quality of Delhi is likely to stay in the lower end of the ‘Very Poor’ category in the coming days,” it said.<\/p>\n
The GRAP sub-committee said it revoked the stage-4 rules considering its disruptive nature that impacts a large number of stakeholders and the public at large.<\/p>\n
GRAP-4 restrictions include a ban on all construction activities, the entry of non-essential polluting trucks into Delhi, and the mandatory shift of school classes, except for Classes 10 and 12, to hybrid mode. Non-essential diesel trucks are prohibited from entering Delhi, and Delhi-registered BS-4 and older diesel-run heavy goods vehicles are banned, except for essential services, under GRAP-4.<\/p>\n
