The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) agreed on Sunday to implement an eight-point Stage IV of the graded response action plan (GRAP) in the nation's capital with immediate effect, in addition to all activities under Stages I, II, and III, due to the deteriorating air quality in Delhi-NCR.
