Commission for Air Quality Management Revokes GRAP Stage-III Actions Following Improved Air Quality

GRAP Stage-IV Revoked Amidst Improving Air Quality in NCR
Considering the current AQI level and ongoing preventive/mitigative/restrictive actions, the Sub-Committee sees a likelihood of sustaining the improvement in AQI.
