Banned But Running: Shocking GRAP-4 Violations Caught Near Supreme Court

Shocking ground reports by India Today have exposed blatant violations of GRAP-4 pollution norms in the heart of Delhi. Night-time visuals captured just kilometres from the Supreme Court show banned construction activity continuing unchecked, with cement mixers, RMC plants, tractors and JCBs operating under cover of darkness. At multiple sites in Sarojini Nagar, Netaji Nagar and beyond, machines shut down only after cameras arrived, while workers fled the scene. Polluting trucks, including BS-4 vehicles, were also seen freely moving across Delhi despite strict bans. The investigation raises serious questions about enforcement failure and possible collusion, as Delhi continues to choke under severe air pollution.
