Delhi Air Pollution: The central government on Sunday implemented state IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in national capital Delhi and NCR with immediate effects as air quality continued to be in the ‘severe plus’ category for the fourth consecutive day.
The Graded Response Action Plan or GRAP is categorized into four stages – Stage I, Stage II, Stage III and IV. When the Air Quality Index (AQI) reads between 201-300, Stage I measures are implemented. Stages II comes into force after the AQI dips to 301-400 and air turns “very poor”.
For “Severe” AQI between 401 and 450, GRAP stage III is activated and when the AQI crosses 450 and air quality turns “severe plus”, the final Stage IV is implemented as countermeasures. Stage III measures were already being taken in Delhi and NCR where air quality is “severe plus” at the moment.
