Due to worsening air quality in Delhi and the NCR region, Stage-2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has been activated from October 22, 2024. The decision was made by the Commission for Air Quality Management, which advised citizens to avoid dust-generating construction and open burning of waste and biomass during October to January.
An 11-point action plan has been enforced, including daily road cleaning, water sprinkling, and strict dust control at construction sites. The committee also emphasized targeted pollution control at hotspots and ensuring uninterrupted power supply to minimize the use of alternative power generators.
