Delhi Pollution Crisis: Supreme Court Mandates Spatial Audits as AQI Remains Locked in Dangerous 'Severe' Band

 

• The National Capital Region (NCR) continues to grapple with a severe public health emergency as the average Air Quality Index (AQI) remains locked well above the 450 mark. In response, local environmental cells and police departments have deployed extra automated flying squads across primary border intersections to enforce strict Graded Response Action Plan Stage 4 (GRAP-4) parameters. Under these strict mandates, all non-essential heavy cargo trucks are completely banned from entering the capital, and structural demolition activities remain suspended. The Supreme Court has directed municipal teams to conduct real-time spatial ground inspections to ensure complete compliance.
