The Supreme Court has instructed Delhi-NCR states to establish teams to enforce Stage 4 restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) immediately. The court emphasized that these measures should remain in place even if the Air Quality Index (AQI) drops below 450. Concerned about the delay in action, the court also urged states to consider halting physical classes for students up to Class 12 due to health risks. The Supreme Court also directed the Centre to improve satellite data for monitoring stubble burning, a key pollution source.
