GRAP treats symptoms not causes of Delhi air pollution experts

Experts have said that Delhi’s current emergency air-pollution plan, known as the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), only provides temporary relief and does not tackle the underlying causes of poor air quality. They argue that GRAP relies on outdated data and lacks a way to measure whether emission levels are truly falling across the capital region. Instead of repeated short-term measures, experts have called for long-term strategies such as better public transport, ending waste and biomass burning, and stronger monitoring and enforcement to reduce pollution at its source. Authorities have said that GRAP measures are being reviewed for stricter implementation.
