As the Capital continues to grapple with severe air pollution, the city government is implementing stringent measures to combat hazardous pollution levels that have triggered widespread health concerns among residents.
The Delhi government announced Wednesday that half of its staff and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) employees will work from home as part of the fourth stage of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). Environment Minister Gopal Rai urged private offices, industries, and businesses to adopt similar strategies to mitigate the air pollution crisis.
The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) marginally improved from 460 to 419 but remains firmly in the “severe” category. Out of 37 monitoring stations in Delhi, nine stations were in the “severe plus” category with AQI readings exceeding 450, while 22 stations were in the “severe” category with readings above 400.
