  "account": "Delhi-NCR imposed stricter pollution-control measures ahead of Diwali 2026, invoking Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). This comes as the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) takes precautionary action amid deteriorating air quality in the region. The restrictions include non-essential construction work, older vehicles, and industrial operations. Certain goods vehicles and diesel generator sets are also subject to additional restrictions. Schools up to Class 5 in Delhi and selected NCR districts are required to conduct classes in hybrid mode, while offices may adopt work-from-home or hybrid arrangements. Authorities are encouraging public transport usage to minimize the impact of private vehicles on air quality.",
  "summary": "Ahead of Diwali, CAQM invoked Stage III of GRAP across Delhi-NCR as a precaution against worsening pollution. The curbs include bans on many construction activities, older vehicles and certain industrial operations.",
