Delhi Lifts GRAP-3 as AQI Improves; Stage 1-2 Rules Stay
Delhi revokes GRAP-3 as AQI sits at 327, keeping Stage 1-2 curbs in place. Offices drop 50% WFH; schools move to hybrid mode as air quality improves.
Delhi officials announced that GRAP-3 restrictions have been revoked as air quality improves, with the city remaining under GRAP-2 guidelines. The 24-hour average AQI stood at 327, signaling better days but still in the very poor range. Stage 1 and Stage 2 curbs are to be intensified while the more stringent Stage 3 measures are off the table for now.
Delhi also announced changes to work and school norms: offices will discontinue the 50% work-from-home policy, while schools will operate in hybrid mode. Residents are advised to stay alert to air quality updates and limit outdoor activities when pollution spikes.
Authorities say monitoring will continue and adjustments will be made if the AQI worsens again. In the meantime, communities hope for sustained relief as weather conditions contribute to gradual improvements.
