Delhi Air Quality Dips to Very Poor, GRAP 2 Enforced Amid Stubble Burning & SC Nod on Green Crackers

Delhi Air Quality Dips to Very Poor, GRAP 2 Enforced Amid Stubble Burning & SC Nod on Green Crackers

What's behind this

Delhi’s air quality has deteriorated, with the AQI rising to 324, classified as ‘very poor’, on November 2, up from 261 the previous day. The forecast from IMD/IITM indicates the city will remain in the ‘Very Poor’ category in the coming days, prompting the CAQM to urge government agencies and citizens to act. In response, state governments in the NCR are raising vehicle parking fees, introducing staggered timings for public offices and municipal bodies, and the Delhi Metro is adding 20 extra trips, as Stage 2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) is invoked.
