Delhi woke up to yet another morning of thick smog on Friday with the air quality remaining in the ‘Severe’ category for the third consecutive day across several parts of the region.
In view of the worsening air quality in the national capital, Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) came into force today, following an order by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Thursday.
While GRAP-3 is in effect, construction and demolition works will be halted, all non-essential mining activities will be suspended, and non-electric, non-CNG, and non-BS-VI diesel interstate buses will be restricted. The schools have been ordered to switch to online teaching for students of classes up to 5 in Delhi-NCR.
