The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has decided to impose Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) 4 in Delhi-NCR from 8 this morning.

Under the GRAP-4, entry of heavy vehicles from other states will be banned in Delhi.

However, trucks carrying essential commodities and providing essential services will be allowed. All CNG, Electric and BS-VI Diesel trucks will also be permitted to enter Delhi.

The Delhi government has decided to discontinue physical classes for all students, excluding Classes 10 and 12.

In a social media post, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi informed that all schools will conduct online classes until further orders.
