Anti-pollution curbs under Stage-III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) were revoked in Delhi and its neighbouring areas today amid a dip in air pollution levels. The curbs have been eased further a day after the centre’s panel on Delhi-NCR’s air quality rolled back GRAP-4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relaxation means that BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel cars can again enter Delhi-NCR roads.<\/p>\n

GRAP-3 was withdrawn after the Air Quality Index or AQI of Delhi was recorded as 289 – 61 points below the benchmark set by the Supreme Court for invoking Stage-III – on Friday, said the Commission for Air Quality Management or CAQM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The curbs under GRAP-3 and 4 were reimposed on January 15 after the air quality index touched the ‘severe’ mark.<\/p>\n

Stage-IV was revoked amid a dip in pollution levels following a spell of rain in the region and the air quality improved further today amid strong winds.<\/p>\n

The ban has also been lifted on non-essential diesel-operated medium goods vehicles with BS-IV or older standards in Delhi.<\/p>\n

GRAP-3 also entails a ban on non-essential construction work and Classes up to grade 5 are required to shift to hybrid mode.<\/p>\n

Classes up to grade 5 are required to shift to hybrid mode under Stage 3. Parents and students have the option to choose online education wherever available.<\/p>\n

After revoking GRAP-4 on Thursday, GRAP-3 was continued “only as a matter of precaution, considering the uncertainties in the model predictions and abrupt fluctuations in the meteorological factors,” the panel said.<\/p>\n

Air quality dips to hazardous levels in Delhi and nearby areas during winter due to unfavourable meteorological conditions, combined with vehicle emissions, paddy-straw burning, firecrackers and other local pollution sources.<\/p>\n
