Air quality likely to turn ‘very poor’ in NCR; Centre invokes measures under GRAP ‘Stage II’

Firstpost  

Concerned over a “possible” increase in pollution levels in the National Capital Region, the Centre’s air quality panel on Saturday directed authorities to increase parking fees to discourage private transport and enhance CNG or electric bus and metro services. The action comes as part of ‘Stage II’ of the central government’s pollution control plan known as the ‘Graded Response Action Plan’, which is implemented in the Delhi-NCR to combat air pollution during the winter season. At a meeting to review the air quality situation in the Delhi-NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management, a statutory body responsible for proactively implementing GRAP, said forecasts by the India Meteorological Department and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology suggest Delhi’s overall air quality is likely to dip and enter the ‘very poor’ category on October 23 and 24, owing to unfavourable meteorological and climatic conditions. GRAP categorises actions into four stages: Stage I – ‘Poor’ ; Stage II – ‘Very Poor’ ; Stage III – ‘Severe’ ; and Stage IV – ‘Severe Plus’.
