GRAP 4 On Paper, Pollution On Roads: Banned Buses Run Openly In Delhi | AQI | BS-6

Delhi has turned into a gas chamber as Stage 4 of GRAP remains in force, but enforcement on the ground tells a different story. At the Delhi–Noida border, banned diesel buses openly operate despite BS-6 emission norms. Multiple BS-3 diesel buses were seen picking up passengers, loading luggage, and waiting to exit the capital—right under the watch of traffic police, transport officials, and civic authorities. With vehicles running without valid permits and clear violations going unchecked, serious questions arise over GRAP 4 enforcement and accountability as Delhi continues to choke.
