The capital city of our nation is the city experiencing the severe pollution in our country. Any actions, plans, mitigation methods as part of pollution control will be first reflected in the capital city itself. Delhi is the first region to impose the ban of 15-year-old vehicles in the public roads. Delhi is the first region to incorporate the BS VI emission norms into the vehicle production. New Delhi is the principal place of sitting of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). Delhi will be the start of spark for the pollution mitigation methods. In this scenario the central government has notified to shut down all the diesel generators in the Delhi NCR as part of the Graded Response Action Plan or GRAP. From October 15, all the diesel generators in the capital city will be banned as per the GRAP measures. Here we discuss what is GRAP and what all are its relevance in the present scenario. Let’s look into the all about the Graded Response Action Plan or simply GRAP.

What is GRAP Plan?

The history of the GRAP starts from the year of 2016. In November 2016, Delhi had a very immediate alarming pollution scenario of smog emergency after 17 years. The PM2.5 was 14 times the normal standards which were kept at that time. Pointing out the alarming situation the EPCA Environmental Pollution Control Authority which is working under the ministry of forest and environment filed an urgent report to the honourable supreme court. The report filed to the honourable supreme court in order to specify the need and requirement of the strict and emergency action plan implementation as per the direction of the supreme court. The honourable supreme court directed the EPCA and Central Pollution Control Board to frame a smog alert system. By analysing the world’s best schemes regarding the same matter, the agencies have regulated an action plan in order to mitigate the emergency situation. The action plan was submitted to the honourable supreme court and the supreme court directed the Ministry of Environment and Forest to notify the same. The central government thus notified the plan as the Graded Response Action Plan on 12th January 2017.
