Noida, Nov. 17 -- With the air quality index (AQI) worsening in the city, the Noida authority has formed 14 teams to implement the graded response plan (Grap) stage 3 restrictions on the ground. The step follows directions of the Commission for Air Quality Management to impose the stage-3 pollution curbs that include ban on non-essential construction and demolition, all construction sites must be covered with green sheet, and the sites be also barricaded with steel sheet. "As the air has entered into the bad category in entire Delhi-NCR we have directed the teams to take harsh steps to enforce the same strictly," said Noida authority's CEO Lokesh M. On Sunday, these teams conducted ground inspections, ran an awareness drive at 62 different spots across the city. The teams also carried out inspections in rural areas, and sought cooperation in enforcing the Grap strictly. Since November 13, Noida's AQI has been in "very poor" category" (301-400)" after being in "severe" category (401-500) for two days. On Sunday, Noida recorded AQI at 385.Vinod Rajput...
