New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday (November 25) said that the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP)-IV will continue in the National Capital Region (NCR) for now, saying unless it is satisfied that there is consistent downward trend of the Air Quality Index (AQI), it cannot order to go below to stage-III or stage-II of GRAP.
A bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih, while hearing the air pollution in Delhi and NCR, directed the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to consider restarting physical classes in schools and colleges in the national capital region and adjoining areas, noting many students lacked mid-day meals and infrastructure to attend online classes.
