Delhi: Stage 3 GRAP restrictions revoked as air quality improves

The Commission for Air Quality Management on Wednesday lifted Stage 3 restrictions in the Delhi-National Capital Territory Region under the Graded Response Action Plan, citing improved air quality.

In its statement, the commission noted that Delhi’s Air Quality Index stood at 327, placing it in the “very poor” category. Stage 3 had been imposed on November 11 after the air quality had plummeted to the “severe” level.

The order on Wednesday means that the 50% work-from-home system in offices and hybrid classes in schools have been discontinued, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said.
