Grap means GRAP. The full form of GRAP is Graded Response Action Plan. This is a government plan, which has been drawn up against the rising pollution in Delhi-NCR. Through this plan pollution is controlled. Actually, it has many stages and these stages also increase with the increase in pollution. As the phases increase, so do restrictions in Delhi.
GRAP has 4 steps
- When the air in Delhi deteriorates from 201 to 300 AQI, the first phase is implemented.
- After this, if the air worsens and the AQI reaches between 301 and 400, the second phase is implemented.
- If the air becomes very bad, that is, the AQI exceeds 400, the third phase is imposed.
- When the situation worsens, the fourth level of GRAP is implemented.

To avoid contamination, properly cover your mouth and nose or wear a mask when you leave home. To avoid eye allergies, wear protective glasses before going out. Use an air purifier at home in case of excessive pollution. At the same time, children and the elderly were prevented from leaving the house. In such a situation, ask the children who are going to play in the park to play indoor games at home. If you go for a walk in the morning and afternoon, do not go out for a few days, otherwise excessive pollution can cause respiratory problems.
