𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣 𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has become operational across six cities in Bengal this week. The implementation involved a newly developed software system designed to monitor air quality and generate advisories when pollution levels exceed designated thresholds. GRAP has been customised for six cities in Bengal: Kolkata, Howrah, Barrackpore, Haldia, Asansol, and Raniganj, each with specific measures and responsible agencies. The GRAP framework integrates with existing state initiatives and baseline policy measures to ensure a cohesive approach to improving air quality. By considering local conditions, the plan aims to address the unique challenges each city faces while fostering a statewide strategy for cleaner air.
