Delhi's air quality deteriorated to the 'very poor' category on Monday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 324 at 4 pm. In response, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) imposed Stage 2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR with immediate effect. The decision came amid unfavourable weather conditions, which are expected to keep pollution levels high over the coming days. Under GRAP Stage 2, authorities must intensify road cleaning, water sprinkling and the use of anti-smog guns to control dust pollution. Measures to reduce traffic congestion and promote public transport will also be strengthened. (PC: India Today)
