GRAP 4 To Stay In Delhi Till Monday, Schools To Remain In Hybrid Mode

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed that emergency measures under stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan, or GRAP, to deal with air pollution should continue in Delhi till December 2, Bar and Bench reported.

The GRAP is a set of incremental anti-pollution measures that are triggered to prevent the worsening of air quality once it reaches a certain threshold in the National Capital Region. Stage 4 includes a ban on trucks entering the region and a temporary halt on construction activities for public projects.

The Supreme Court’s order, however, will not apply to schools. This means that schools in Delhi can operate in hybrid mode, allowing students to attend classes either physically or online.
