CAQM Revokes GRAP Stage 4 in Delhi-NCR Amid Enforcement Shortcomings

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has identified significant enforcement gaps in Delhi-NCR's implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), with shortfalls ranging from 7 to 99.6 percent in key actions like construction site inspections and mechanical road sweeping. Despite these deficiencies, CAQM revoked Stage-4 GRAP restrictions as air quality improved, while maintaining Stages 1 to 3 measures. The commission urged continued adherence to pollution control norms amid ongoing air quality concerns.
