What's behind this

The transition from GRAP Stage II to Stage III in Delhi‑NCR imposes tighter restrictions on older vehicles, construction work and the movement of goods. Schools up to class 5 are ordered to run in a hybrid mode as air quality deteriorates under the new stage. Offices may adopt a model where only half of the staff attend in person while the rest work from home. These measures aim to curb pollution and adjust daily activities.
