Delhi-NCR GRAP 3 News: The Centre’s Commission on Air Quality in Delhi-NCR on Sunday lifted Stage-3 restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan amid a decline in air pollution levels due to favorable meteorological conditions. This information was given in an official order. Due to western disturbance, there was light rainfall in and around Delhi. Western disturbances are seasonal systems originating in the Mediterranean region that bring winter rainfall and snowfall to northwest India.
This resulted in significant improvement in the air quality of the city. The national capital’s air quality index (AQI) stood at 278 at 4 pm on Sunday, 72 points below the threshold of 350 points for implementation of phase-3 restrictions, which also includes a ban on non-essential construction work. Another western disturbance is likely to affect northwest India around January 14-15.
