SC Denies Relaxation Of GRAP

The Supreme Court of India has mandated that Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap) remains in effect. The Supreme Court has stressed the need for ongoing declines in AQI before considering any relaxations in Grap measures, with a hearing set for December 5. The court has questioned the Delhi government about enforcement resources, specifically regarding regulations on truck access to the capital.

Experts warn that the current AQI improvement may be temporary without rigorous pollution-control measures and policies addressing emissions from various sources. While residents experience a brief respite, the journey to sustainable air quality in Delhi remains complex and challenging.
