The Commission for Air Quality Management has decided to implement Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) with immediate effect across the entire Delhi-NCR region. This is in addition to actions under earlier stages to prevent further deterioration of air quality. Stage IV entails a 8-point plan including restricting truck entry, prohibiting non-Delhi diesel vehicles except essential services, halting construction activities in public projects, and enforcing a ban on industries not running on clean fuels. The CAQM cited the prevailing trend of severe air quality in Delhi-NCR behind invoking the emergency Stage IV measures under GRAP to contain pollution.
