  "account": "Delhi has implemented Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) due to a severe Diwali smog, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 380. Only vehicles meeting BS-VI emission standards, CNG and electric vehicles, and certain exemptions are allowed on the roads. BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel light motor vehicles, including four-wheelers, are banned in Delhi and high-vehicle-density NCR districts. Trucks not bound for Delhi must use peripheral expressways. Vehicles registered outside Delhi with BS-IV or older standards will not be permitted in the city from November 1 to January 31, 2027. Residents can use BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel light motor vehicles for personal use if adapted for individuals with disabilities. Government and private offices will limit physical attendance to 50% during the affected period, while essential and emergency services remain exempt. Air quality is expected to remain severe on Sunday, November 8 and 9, due to festive emissions and peak stubble-burning season.",
  "summary": "The Delhi air quality is forecast to turn 'severe' on Sunday, with Diwali celebrations, vehicular emissions and the peak stubble-burning season expected to add to the pollution burden.",
