The CREDAI-NCR has urged its member developers to cooperate with the authorities and take proactive steps to comply with the GRAP Stage 1 restrictions.

As Diwali approaches, the Delhi government and environmental agencies are closely monitoring air quality levels and are prepared to implement stricter measures if necessary. The successful implementation of GRAP Stage 1 restrictions will be crucial in ensuring a cleaner and healthier Diwali for the residents of Delhi.
