The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) revoked Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in Delhi-NCR with immediate effect. The GRAP was implemented across Delhi to deal with poor air quality and rising air pollution in the city.
As GRAP-III restrictions were revoked, the ban on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles in Delhi and surrounding areas was also lifted. However, “actions under Stage-I and Stage-II of the GRAP shall remain invoked and be implemented,” the CAQM said on Monday.
The CAQM is a statutory body that is responsible for formulating strategies to combat pollution in the region.
The sub-committee of CAQM revoked the Stage-III of GRAP in view of the forecasts by the India Meteorological Department (IMD)/Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) for meteorological conditions and air quality index of Delhi, officials told news agency PTI.
