With Delhi's air quality index (AQI) briefly improved to below 400 this week—it was back to 401 at 6pm on Friday—the court will consider on Monday whether to scale down restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap). Until then, it ordered intensified monitoring of vehicles entering Delhi.
A bench of justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih noted "apparent failure" by Delhi Police and the state government to enforce key provisions of Grap stage 4 restrictions, which came into effect on November 18.
Under stage 4, which represents the highest level of pollution control measures, all trucks except those carrying essential items are banned from entering Delhi. Exceptions are made for trucks bringing essential perishables, petroleum products and other critical items and those that are electric or conform to the latest BS-VI emission standards.
