Delhi has activated GRAP Stage 2, imposing restrictions on private vehicles with even registration numbers to combat air pollution.
The Delhi government has activated the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage 2, introducing strict traffic restrictions to address deteriorating air quality in the national capital. Under this phase, the movement of private vehicles bearing even registration numbers is prohibited within the city limits.
Commuters are advised to verify their vehicle registration numbers before traveling to work or for other purposes. The ban specifically targets private cars and motorcycles with even digits in their registration plates, while public transport and emergency vehicles remain exempt from these restrictions.
Authorities have urged residents to rely on public transportation systems, including the Delhi Metro and buses, to reduce vehicular emissions. Violations of these traffic rules may result in penalties, and citizens are expected to comply with the directives to help improve air conditions.
