In this Special Report, the focus is on the severe air pollution crisis gripping Delhi NCR. The discussion highlights the implementation of GRAP 4 measures as the Air Quality Index (AQI) breaches the ‘severe plus’ category. An expert panelist warns that the current pollution levels are equivalent to smoking dozens of cigarettes daily, posing severe risks to children and the elderly. The report also addresses the failure of governance and the lack of preventative measures, with residents urged to stay indoors. The segment underscores the urgent need for long-term solutions beyond temporary bans. The discussion further reveals that despite the preventative nature of the Graded Response Action Plan, delays in implementation have exacerbated the situation. The expert criticizes the lack of political will and the ‘blame game’ between agencies, noting that public memory is short, and the cycle of pollution repeats annually without permanent resolution. The broadcast calls for a more localized and serious approach to tackling this health emergency.
