Delhi Air Quality Worsens: GRAP Stage II Imposed, Restrictions on Generators and Construction

With air pollution levels rising, authorities enforce GRAP II measures across Delhi-NCR, imposing restrictions on diesel generators and construction activities to curb the growing health crisis.

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Monday ordered the implementation of GRAP-II in Delhi-NCR.

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Monday ordered the implementation of GRAP-II in Delhi-NCR.

As Delhi’s air quality dips to alarming levels, authorities have invoked Stage II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in the National Capital Region (NCR). The imposition of GRAP II comes in response to a sharp increase in pollution levels, as air quality monitors show concerning spikes in particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). These worsening conditions signal the onset of a severe air pollution season, prompting stringent countermeasures.

Under the newly enforced guidelines, the use of diesel generators has been heavily restricted, except for essential services such as hospitals, railways, and metro stations. Construction and demolition activities in the region have also been limited, with authorities suspending operations that are likely to contribute to the worsening air quality. Dust control measures, including sprinkling water on roads and covering open storage of construction materials, are being implemented to reduce particulate matter in the air.

The Centre’s Air Quality Management Commission (CAQM) activated these measures as the Air Quality Index (AQI) in several parts of Delhi and NCR hovered between “poor” and “very poor” levels. These conditions are exacerbated by lower temperatures, stagnant winds, and an increase in vehicular emissions, further worsening pollution in the region.

Delhi’s pollution crisis has long been a challenge, particularly during the winter months, when meteorological factors trap pollutants close to the ground, leading to hazardous air conditions. Despite long-standing efforts to mitigate pollution, the capital continues to face a recurring air quality dilemma, affecting the health and well-being of its residents.

Authorities are urging citizens to minimize outdoor activities and use public transport wherever possible to reduce vehicular emissions. Experts have raised concerns about the long-term health impacts of exposure to such high levels of pollution, particularly for vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

As Delhi braces for the coming weeks of potentially hazardous air, citizens and industries alike are being urged to adhere to the imposed restrictions to curb the deteriorating situation. The government is monitoring the situation closely, with the potential for more stringent actions if pollution levels continue to rise.
