Actions under Stages I to Stage II of the GRAP shall remain invoked and be implemented by all agencies concerned in the entire NCR to ensure that the AQI levels do not slip further to the 'severe' category.
The Sub-Committee revoked the order, issued on 3rd November 2022, for actions under Stage-IV of the GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan in Delhi-NCR) with immediate effect. Actions under Stages-I to Stage-III of GRAP shall however remain invoked and will be implemented, monitored and reviewed.
This is in continuation of the Tuesday review meeting with Delhi officials for taking stock of the status of implementation of Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in the entire National Capital Region (NCR) in addition to actions under Stage I and Stage II.
The capital witnessed a drop to the severe category for the first time this season due to poor dispersion of pollutants owing to weak winds, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
CAQM stated that as per the satellite remote sensing data, up to October 24, 2022, only about 39 per cent of sown area in Punjab had been harvested and thus the rising number of fire events is a matter of concern. As per the Standard Protocol developed by ISRO for CAQM, for the period September 15, 2022, to October 26 2022, total paddy residue burning events reported in Punjab are 7,036 compared to 6,463 for the same period during the last year.
