NEW DELHI, 22/11/2024: A layer of smog seen over capital, as the Supreme Court on Friday resumed hearing in the plea seeking directions to curb air pollution in Delhi-NCR. The Air Quality Index (AQI) had hit ‘severe-plus’ levels earlier this week, necessitating the implementation of Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), which bans truck entry and temporarily halts construction at public projects, in New Delhi on Friday.
