GRAP detail
This is a government plan, which has been made against the increasing pollution in Delhi-NCR. Pollution is controlled through this plan. Actually, it has many stages, and these stages also increase with increasing pollution. As the stages increase, the restrictions in Delhi also increase.
GRAP has four stages
Air in Delhi deteriorates from 201 to 300 AQI, then the first stage is implemented.
If the air becomes more polluted and the AQI reaches 301 to 400, then its second stage is implemented.
If the air becomes more polluted, AQI exceeds 400, then the third stage is implemented.
When the situation worsens, the fourth level of GRAP is implemented.
Restrictions are implemented under GRAP-2 in Delhi-NCR
Generators run on natural gas, biogas, LPG will be able to run.
Parking fees will be increased to reduce the use of private vehicles.
Generators with capacity of more than 800kwa will be able to run only if they get retrofitting done.
Steps to avoid pollution
To avoid pollution, cover your mouth and nose properly or wear a mask when you go out of the house. To avoid eye allergies, wear glasses. Use air purifiers at home in high pollution. At the same time, prevent children and elderly at home from going out. In such a situation, ask children who go to play in the park to play indoor games at home. If you go for morning and evening walks, then do not go out for a few days.
