With EPCA gone, confusion over GRAP measures

November is considered the ‘defining’ month for air pollution in the region and generally logs the most number of days when the air quality is in the ‘severe’ category. This year, Delhi steps into the month without a pollution monitoring body like Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority, which earlier oversaw the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan and issued additional instructions to control any spike in pollution. With the newly formed Commission for Air Quality Management likely to take some time to be constituted, the state pollution boards and involved agencies are confused about how GRAP measures will be enforced.
