A Met official stated, “There is a possibility of light rain on Thursday morning due to a western disturbance. Another round of light rain is expected on the night of January 21.”
The foggy, humid conditions have led to a sharp increase in air pollution, with levels reaching the ‘severe’ category by Wednesday evening.
As a result, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) reinstated curbs under GRAP-4, the highest pollution control measures, after a 22-day break. These measures include a ban on BS III petrol and BS IV diesel vehicles in Delhi and surrounding areas.
All construction activities, including linear public projects, have been suspended. Additionally, schools are now required to operate in hybrid mode, offering online classes as an option for students.
