Delhi has activated Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) as air quality deteriorates to 'Severe Plus' levels, with AQI reaching 441. Schools must adopt hybrid learning models through Class 11, while government and private offices have been directed to implement 50% work-from-home policies. The Commission for Air Quality Management attributes the crisis primarily to meteorological conditions rather than local emissions.
