Capital chokes: GRAP-III reimposed in Delhi-NCR; air quality likely to turn ‘severe’

Delhi-NCR faces renewed pollution crisis as authorities re-implement GRAP-III restrictions. Non-essential construction, demolition, and mining activities are halted. Vehicular curbs target older diesel and petrol models. Essential services and critical projects are exempted, with schools offering hybrid learning. This move aims to combat the ‘severe’ air quality forecast.
