Grap 2 removed as Delhi logs 6th moderate air day in a row
Hindustan Times Delhi
|February 25, 2025
Delhi's air quality remained in the "moderate" category for a sixth straight day on Monday, prompting the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in NCR to revoke Stage 2 measures of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap), effectively marking the end of the winter pollution season.
NEW DELHI:
The restrictions lifted include the prohibition on non-BS-6, EV, or CNG inter-state buses entering Delhi, increased parking fees, and limits on diesel generator sets.
On Monday, Delhi's average air quality index (AQI) stood at 186 (moderate), a marginal worsening from 144 the previous day. To be sure, an improvement in air in the Capital is largely par for the course this time of the year - last year, February had eight straight moderate days between February 22 and 29.
Stage 2 of Grap has been in place since October 22 last year.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order
Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
