It is difficult to breathe in the air of Delhi… AQI has deteriorated very much, Grape 4 is implemented, restrictions will be imposed on many things.

New Delhi :The air quality in Delhi-NCR has recently declined rapidly, due to which people are facing difficulty in breathing. The Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached above 400 in many areas, which is considered extremely dangerous from health point of view. In view of this serious situation, the Central Pollution Control Board and the Commission for Air Quality Management (CQAM) have announced the implementation of GRAP-4. This step is considered extremely necessary to control pollution and protect people. Grape-4 has never been implemented this season before, so this is a new and serious warning sign for residents of Delhi-NCR.

Restrictions applicable under Grap-4
Let us tell you that as soon as Grap-4 is implemented, many restrictions will be imposed in the National Capital Region. Firstly, a ban can be imposed on the entry of trucks, so that the pollution caused by heavy vehicles can be reduced. In addition, construction work will be temporarily suspended and public construction projects may be put on hold. This step has been taken especially to control dust and air pollution coming from construction sites.

Control over vehicles and transportation
Under Grape-4, only CNG and BS-6 diesel vehicles will be exempted. Entry of non-essential light commercial vehicles registered outside Delhi may be banned. This will reduce the smoke and pollution emitted from vehicles. Officials say that this step is important for the safety of both the general public and the environment.

Changes in government and educational institutions
The work from office capacity of employees in government and non-government offices will be limited to 50 percent. Its objective is to reduce traffic and health risks caused by air pollution. Apart from this, there is a possibility of running hybrid classes in schools, in which students will be given the facility of both online and offline studies. However, an official announcement on this is yet to be made.

impact on people’s health
Experts say that if AQI exceeds 400, difficulty in breathing, eye irritation, sore throat and other respiratory problems can seriously increase. The elderly, children and people with respiratory diseases are particularly affected. The purpose of implementing GRAP-4 is to protect people from these dangers of pollution and to prevent health emergencies.

In this way, the implementation of Grap-4 in Delhi-NCR is a decisive step towards pollution control. This will not only help in improving the air quality but can also have a positive impact on people’s health and the general life of the city.
