Precautionary measures have been taken by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to curb the seasonal rise in pollution in Delhi-NCR. According to a report by News18, the Commission has issued a series of directives to reduce pollution during a critical period in November.
Under these new rules, a ban has been imposed on dust-generating construction and demolition activities across the National Capital Region from 5 November to 20 November 2026. This ban also includes several linear infrastructure projects such as roads, highways, flyovers, overbridges, pipelines, and power transmission. However, CAQM has granted exemption from these rules to some essential and highly critical projects.
