Jan 17 2025, 7 pm ISTeznews.inAnti-pollution measures under Stage-III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) were lifted in Delhi and surrounding areas today, following an improvement in air quality. This decision comes a day after the central panel on air quality in Delhi-NCR revoked GRAP-4. The easing of restrictions allows BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles to re-enter the region. The Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded a level of 289, significantly below the Supreme Court's threshold for initiating Stage-III measures. These restrictions had been reinstated on January 15 when air quality reached 'severe' levels. The recent improvement is attributed to rainfall and strong winds. Additionally, the ban on non-essential diesel-operated medium goods vehicles has been lifted, while non-essential construction work remains prohibited and students in grades 1-5 are required to adopt hybrid learning. Air quality in Delhi typically deteriorates in winter due to various pollution sources and unfavourable weather conditions.
