NEW DELHI, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- India's federal government Sunday mandated the enforcement of anti-pollution measures classified under Stage-III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across the Indian capital territory -- Delhi and its outskirts with immediate effect.
Under GRAP Stage-III, there is a ban on operations in stone crushers, mining and related activities in the National Capital Region. Additionally, a strict ban on non-essential construction and demolition activities has been implemented throughout the region.
