Delhi authorities have enforced a Grap 3 pollution control measure as the city’s air quality approached the severe threshold, tightening restrictions on industrial emissions and vehicular traffic.
On November 6, the Delhi administration announced the implementation of a Grap 3 air pollution control measure as the city’s air quality index neared the severe level. Grap 3, a stringent regulatory step, requires industries to reduce emissions, limits vehicular movement, and imposes stricter monitoring of pollutants.
Under the new directive, factories operating within the city limits must submit detailed emission reports and may face temporary shutdowns if they exceed permissible limits. Vehicle owners are advised to avoid non-essential travel, and public transport routes are being adjusted to reduce congestion.
The move follows a series of warnings from environmental agencies about the escalating particulate matter levels. Officials stated that the enforcement aims to curb the rise in fine dust and improve health outcomes for residents.
