Got some freedom to breathe: Finally, the news has arrived for the people of Delhi-NCR, for which everyone was eagerly waiting. The sky has become a little clearer, the poison in the air has reduced a little and with this the government has loosened the chains of restrictions. The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has lifted the restrictions of GRAP-3 with immediate effect. The vehicles that were ‘locked’ for the last few days and the construction work that was stalled will now be able to resume. This decision was taken when improvement was seen in AQI (Air Quality Index) and the Meteorological Department predicted that the situation will get better in the coming days. Let us know what changes this decision is going to bring in your life. 1. ‘Car Ban Lifted’ The most relief has been given to the middle class families whose cars were confined in the garage. What changed: GRAP-3 removed The ban on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles has ended. If you have these vehicles, now you can drive them on the roads of Delhi-NCR without the fear of a challan of Rs 20,000. 2. Relief to people building houses (Construction Resumes) If the work or renovation of your house was stalled, now call the labor back. What is open: The strict ban on construction works (construction) and demolition has been lifted. Along with this, stone crushers, hot mix plants and brick kilns have also been allowed to resume work. With this, the livelihood of the workers will also be back on track. 3. Schools and children’s classes: The removal of GRAP-3 means that the restrictions imposed on schools will also be reduced. What will happen: There may be a change in the option of online classes which was kept for children up to class 5th. However, before going to school, do check the message of the school administration once, because the state governments can take their own decision on this as well. But… do not lose your senses while celebrating! (GRAP 1 & 2 Still On)It is still important to be careful. The government has removed only Stage-3, but GRAP Stages 1 and 2 will still be applicable. Water sprinkling will continue on the roads. The use of tandoor and coal in hotels and dhabas will be monitored. Burning of garbage in the open will still attract heavy fines. Officials say that the air is currently in the lower category of ‘Very Poor’, which is better than ‘Severe’. If we are careless and the pollution goes beyond 350-400 again, then these restrictions will not take long to return. For now, pick up the keys of your vehicles and drive carefully!
