Delhi-NCR to see 15-day construction ban from Nov 5; Centre says no rollback of vehicle restrictions
Delhi-NCR will enforce a 15-day construction ban starting November 5 as part of anti-pollution measures. The Centre has ruled out any relaxation of vehicle restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan.
The construction ban will affect thousands of workers and projects across Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad. Labour unions have raised concerns about wage losses for daily-wage earners, while developers worry about project delays and cost overruns. State governments have been asked to ensure compliance through monitoring teams and penalties for violations. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities, use public transport, and report visible dust or smoke. The measures will be reviewed after 15 days based on air quality data.
