Stringent anti-pollution measures under Stage 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) came into force on Friday, following an order from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM).

Chief Minister Atishi announced a revision of working hours across government offices to combat pollution and reduce traffic congestion on Friday.

GRAP stage 3 will come into force at 8am on Friday. The Delhi government announced that classes for primary schools will be shifted to online.

Delhi AQI remains at 'severe' but the environment minster recently said that GRAP 3 measures do not need to be imposed as of now.

The air pollution condition has worsened in Delhi NCR as AQI remains in severe category for the second consecutive day. The Delhi government has implemented GRAP III restrictions in Delhi.

The introduction of Stage 3 in the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) includes specific limitations to reduce air pollution, focusing on emissions from construction and vehicles. THREE new restrictions will be implemented on November 15 due to residents' construction and demolition limitations.

In response to dangerously high pollution levels, the Delhi government has ordered the closure of all primary schools starting Friday, with classes shifting online until further notice. Chief Minister Atishi made the announcement on social media.

As of early Thursday morning, the AQI at key locations like Anand Vihar, Bawana, Dwarka Sector 8, and Jahangirpuri surpassed 400, entering the "severe" category.

Delhi residents woke up to ‘severe’ air quality on Thursday morning (November 14), a day after the national capital recorded the worst AQI in the country, with dense fog blanketing the NCR, reducing visibility.
