The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) imposed stage-one measures across Delhi-NCR on Wednesday under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). The order activates the first stage of the regional framework.
The move followed a deterioration in regional air quality to the “poor” category, the condition cited in the report for the commission’s immediate action. The measures are regional rather than confined to one city and cover the full Delhi-NCR jurisdiction. The supplied information does not specify the individual restrictions included in the package or announce any subsequent change in the response stage.
