Delhi Chokes: Severe Pollution Persists Despite GRAP-4, Visibility Drops

• Delhi's AQI remains 'severe'/'very poor', with dense smog drastically reducing visibility across NCR.
• Morning AQI recorded 360 ('very poor'), with 11 out of 40 stations still in 'severe' category.
• New vehicle rules: No petrol/diesel without PUC certificate; only BS VI vehicles allowed, older ones banned.
• Strict GRAP-4 measures, including WFH, construction ban, and vehicle restrictions, prove ineffective.
• GRAP-4 includes bans on BS-4 commercial vehicles, most construction, waste burning, and diesel generators.

Why It Matters: Delhi's severe pollution crisis continues despite strict GRAP-4 measures and new vehicle rules.
