Delhi Air Quality Index: Air quality monitoring stations in many parts of Delhi revealed AQI levels that were “very poor” to “severe.” Pollution levels have gotten worse because of low wind speed, dropping temperatures, and a build-up of car and factory fumes. The thick smog has made it harder to see and has made breathing hard for many people who live there.
The Meaning of GRAP Stage 3
Under GRAP Stage 3, officials have put in place tighter rules to cut down on emissions. These include stricter rules on industrial operations, more monitoring of car pollution, and bans on building and demolition activities that aren’t necessary. Schools and businesses have been told to take precautions to spend less time outside.
Health Warning for Residents
Doctors say that being around dirty air for a long time can cause breathing diseases, asthma attacks, and heart problems. People who are vulnerable, like kids, old people, and people who already have health problems, should stay inside as much as possible and wear masks when they go outside.
How It Affects Daily Life
The air quality is getting worse, which has changed people’s daily lives. Commuters are having a hard time and can’t see as well on the roads. Airlines have also warned people that there may be delays during times when vision is low.
Government Action and Watching
The government has stepped up regulation and asked people to help by not travelling unless they have to and using public transportation. We are constantly checking to see if more needs to be done.
The Delhi Air Quality Index is still at dangerous levels, so GRAP Stage 3 has been put into action. This shows how important it is to keep working together to fight the city’s ongoing air pollution problem.
