Delhi NCR is implementing GRAP Stage 3 measures due to severe air pollution, halting non-essential construction and restricting vehicle use. BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles are banned, impacting transportation.

The introduction of Stage 3 in the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) includes specific limitations to reduce air pollution, focusing on emissions from construction and vehicles. THREE new restrictions will be implemented on November 15 due to residents' construction and demolition limitations.

GRAP stage 3 will come into force at 8am on Friday. The Delhi government announced that classes for primary schools will be shifted to online.
