CAQM Lifts GRAP Stage 4 Restrictions in Delhi-NCR Amid Air Quality Improvement

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) revoked Stage 4 restrictions of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in Delhi-NCR as air quality improved from 'severe' to 'very poor'. However, measures under Stages 1, 2, and 3 remain active. Reports highlighted significant enforcement gaps, including poor inspections of construction sites and inadequate road sweeping, especially in Gurugram and other NCR areas, leading to ongoing pollution challenges despite regulations.
