Gurugram Bans Coal and Wood-Fired Tandoors in Eateries Under Revised GRAP
Gurugram's District Magistrate Uttam Singh has ordered a ban on coal and wood-fired tandoors in all hotels, restaurants, and open-air eateries to reduce air pollution. Under the revised Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) by the Commission for Air Quality Management, only electric, gas, or other approved clean fuels are permitted. The order is effective immediately, with municipal bodies and pollution control officials tasked to enforce compliance through regular inspections and reporting. The administration has urged public and business cooperation in this effort.
