Delhi AQI Crisis: WFH Mandated, Laborers Get ₹10,000 Aid Amid GRAP-IV

• Delhi mandates 50% Work From Home (WFH) for all government and private offices; essential services are exempt.
• Registered construction laborers affected by work halt will receive ₹10,000 directly transferred to their accounts.
• The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) implemented GRAP-IV on December 13 due to rapidly increasing pollution levels.
• GRAP-IV includes a ban on construction/demolition activities and restrictions on truck entry into Delhi (with exemptions).
• Schools for primary students and classes 6-9, 11 will operate in a hybrid (online and physical) mode.

Why It Matters: Delhi implements strict GRAP-IV measures, including WFH and financial aid for laborers, due to severe AQI.
