NEW DELHI: As air quality in the national Capital continues to deteriorate, the Delhi government has announced a series of proactive measures aimed at tackling the escalating pollution levels. Environment minister Gopal Rai convened a meeting with key departments to implement stricter protocols under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), emphasising the urgent need for collective action from neighbouring states.
In his address, Rai highlighted the alarming increase in pollution levels, particularly as seasonal weather changes take effect. "Pollution levels are on the rise in the Capital, coinciding with the seasonal weather changes. This trend isn't confined to Delhi alone, it affects the entire northern region of India," he noted, attributing a significant portion of the pollution to vehicular emissions from neighbouring states.
