State Bureau, New Delhi. After improvement in the air quality of NCR including Delhi, all the restrictions of the third phase of Graded Response Action Plan (GREP) have been lifted with immediate effect. This decision has been taken by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on the basis of decline in pollution levels and improvement in weather. Under this, the ban on BS-3 petrol and BS-4 diesel vehicles has also been removed, which has increased the convenience of commuting in the city despite environmental improvements. It is known that Group 3 restrictions were imposed on January 16.
A CAQM official said, "Delhi's AQI, which was recorded at 330 i.e. 'very poor' category on Wednesday, has further improved. At 4 pm on Thursday, it was recorded at 322 i.e. 'very poor' category, which shows a positive trend. Considering the current trend of air quality, the Grape sub-committee has decided to lift all the Grape 3 restrictions in the entire NCR with immediate effect."
The official further said, “However, all restrictions of Group 1 and 2 in NCR will remain in force.” According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department and IITM Pune, the weather in NCR including Delhi will remain favorable in the coming days and the air quality is expected to remain in the lower 'poor' to 'very poor' category.
Under the third phase of lockdown, closed private construction works, non-essential diesel trucks, brick kilns and hot mix plants have been allowed to function again. Inter-state diesel buses that do not meet CNG, electric or BS VI standards will also no longer be stopped from entering Delhi.
However, the Commission clarified that construction and demolition project sites, which were specifically issued closure orders due to violation or non-compliance of statutory instructions, rules or guidelines, will not be allowed to resume operations under any circumstances without an express order of the Commission.
According to the government order, there will also be a change in the education system implemented earlier, where online education was kept as an option for students up to class five.
