New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

In an attempt to keep rising air pollution under control, authorities in Delhi have issued fresh restrictions on construction work and demolition activities.<\/p>\n

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), the Centre’s air quality panel,\u00a0has directed authorities in Delhi-NCR to ban all non-essential construction work in the region under Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).<\/p>\n

Delhi’s 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) stood at 407 at 4 pm today.<\/p>\n

An AQI between 201 and 300 is considered ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.<\/p>\n

The pollution level in Delhi had entered the ‘severe’ category after November 4, when the AQI was 447, following which, the CAQM had directed the authorities to impose a ban on all construction and demolition activities in Delhi-NCR, except in essential projects.<\/p>\n

Later, on November 14, the CAQM directed authorities to revoke the curbs enforced in Delhi-NCR under Stage III of GRAP, including a ban on non-essential construction activities.<\/p>\n

However, in view of worsening air quality over the last few days, this ban has now been reintroduced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
