Pollution in Delhi-NCR is out of control, with AQI exceeding 500 in many areas; GRAP-3 restrictions ineffective.


Posted on 15th Nov 2025 10:18 am by rohit kumar

The air in Delhi-NCR has once again become a burden on people's breathing. Due to the drop in temperature, slow wind speed, and the ever-increasing pollution sources, the capital is becoming increasingly shrouded in a thick blanket of smog. According to experts, the daily increase in PM 2.5 and PM 10 levels indicates that Delhi's air has now crossed the hazardous category and reached "severe."

 

 

Meanwhile, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at extremely poor levels in many areas. Wazirpur remained the most polluted with an AQI of 556, while Sonia Vihar recorded 500 and Burari 477. These figures confirm that the pollution burden is increasing uniformly across the entire NCR.

 

 

To control the increasing pollution in Delhi, the CAQM (Commission for Air Quality Management) is now considering installing dust sensors on major roads in the NCR to ensure real-time monitoring of road dust and prompt action on sources. Officials believe that road dust and negligence in construction work are contributing to the continued rise in pollution.

 

 

Violation of GRAP-3 regulations

Despite the implementation of GRAP-3, agencies have failed to take strict action. Construction site restrictions, water sprinkling, and road cleaning—many departments have failed on all fronts. As a result, pollution control measures remain confined to paper, while the air on the ground is becoming increasingly toxic.

 

 

Due to the continued negligence of government agencies and adverse weather conditions, the air quality in Delhi-NCR is likely to deteriorate further in the coming days, posing a significant concern for public health.
