GRAP 3 curbs revoked in Delhi-NCR amid dip in air pollution levels

However, students in neighbouring Delhi are unlikely to get relief as the Centre's panel on Delhi-NCR's air quality on Sunday revoked Stage-III curbs under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) amid a dip in air pollution levels due to favourable meteorological conditions. The revocation of GRAP 3 means the schools can take a call on ending the hybrid classes. Under the GRAP 3 restrictions, parents and students had the option to choose between physical classes and online education. 
 
Meanwhile, light rainfall in and around Delhi triggered by a Western Disturbance -- weather systems that originate in the Mediterranean region and bring winter rain and snow to northwest India -- significantly improved the city's air quality.
 
Another Western Disturbance is likely to affect northwest India around January 14–15. GRAP Stage 3, which was brought back on Thursday, entails a ban on non-essential construction work. Under Stage 3, the use of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel cars (4-wheelers) is restricted in Delhi and nearby NCR districts.
Persons with disabilities are exempt.
