Considering this, the panel decided to revoke the order imposing GRAP Stage 3 restrictions in Delhi-NCR, the statement read.
However, actions under Stage 1 and 2 of the revised GRAP rules will remain in place , to ensure that air quality levels do not worsen further. The panel urged citizens to adhere to the restrictions for this.
Construction and demolition projects, which have been issued closed on specific orders due to violations of various statutory directions, rules, guidelines, etc. cannot resume operations without any specific order to this effect, CAQM said.
With GRAP Stage 3 restrictions revoked, schools can resume offline classes up to Grade V, instead of running classes in mandatory hybrid mode.
