Delhi Air Pollution: CAQM Revokes Restrictions Under GRAP 2 As Air Quality Improves

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has lifted the restrictions imposed under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) 2 for Delhi as the air quality has shown significant improvement. On the afternoon of the announcement, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi was recorded at 214, reflecting better meteorological conditions contributing to the positive change. Previously, the city had been grappling with hazardous air quality levels, prompting the CAQM to implement various measures aimed at reducing pollution. The current improvement in air quality is attributed to favorable weather patterns, including wind direction and rainfall, which have helped disperse pollutants. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance to maintain air quality standards. The decision to revoke GRAP 2 restrictions marks a hopeful turn for residents of Delhi, who have faced severe pollution in recent months, especially during the winter season when smog and particulate matter levels typically rise.
