Construction Ban in Delhi Due to Pollution Forces Migrant Workers to Seek Alternatives
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has implemented Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan, banning dust-generating construction and demolition activities across the National Capital Region due to severe air pollution. This halt in construction has forced many migrant workers to return to their native states or seek alternative employment, such as domestic work. Essential public infrastructure projects remain exempt from the ban, which is expected to last until early next year.
