With the national capital's average air quality index reeling under the 'severe' category on Thursday, the Centre's air pollution monitoring agency, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), has invoked the Graded Response Action Plan's (GRAP) stage-III restrictions in Delhi-NCR.
The CAQM order says that all actions as envisaged under stage III of the GRAP should be implemented by all the concerned agencies in the NCR, in addition to the already implemented stage-I and II actions of the anti-pollution plan, from 8 a.m. on Friday.
The sub-committee observed that the AQI of Delhi since Tuesday morning hovered in the 'severe' category due to heavy fog and unfavourable meteorological conditions in the entire Indo-Gangetic Plain.
