GRAP-2 Curbs in Delhi-NCR as Air Quality Dips Before Diwali 2025

Delhi-NCR authorities activated GRAP-2 as air quality worsened ahead of Diwali, ordering tighter controls on construction dust, road sweeping, water sprinkling, parking fees and diesel gensets, with traffic curbs and health advisories. Pollution boards deployed enforcement teams and warned of escalation to GRAP-3 if AQI deteriorates further. Residents are urged to limit activity as stubble burning and weather trap smog.
