Delhi Imposes Permanent GRAP-4 Curbs: No PUC, No Fuel; BS6 Entry Restricted Amid 'Very Poor' AQI

• Delhi makes two GRAP-4 pollution restrictions permanent: no petrol without a valid PUCC, and restrictions on non-BS6 vehicles entering from outside.
• Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced the measures as Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) slipped to 390, categorised as 'Very Poor'.
• The government is monitoring weather conditions and aims to prevent repeated pollution-related hardships for residents.
• CAQM has invoked Stage III measures, including restrictions on construction and industrial activities.
• Delhi Cabinet, led by CM Rekha Gupta, approved Rs. 100 crore for water body rejuvenation and an E-Waste Park at Holambi Kalan.

Why It Matters: Delhi implements permanent pollution curbs and new environmental projects as air quality worsens.
