Delhi-NCR mein pollution levels badhte hi Commission for Air Quality Management ne GRAP-1 ko activate kar diya hai. Ab restaurants mein coal/firewood ka use ban ho gaya hai aur diesel generators par bhi sakhti hogi.
Pollution ka level badha, rules hue sakht
Delhi-NCR mein hawa ki quality bigadte hi, CAQM ne GRAP-1 (Graded Response Action Plan) ko turant asar se laagu kar diya hai. Wednesday ko AQI 244 record kiya gaya, jiske baad yeh kadam uthaya gaya hai. Weather reports ke hisaab se aane wale dinon mein bhi hawa ki halat kharab rehne ke chances hain.
Businesses aur Restaurants ke liye kya badla?
Sabse bada impact hospitality sector par padne wala hai. Ab kisi bhi restaurant ya hotel mein tandoor ke liye coal ya firewood use karne ki manaahi hai. Isse chote food outlets ko electricity ya PNG par shift hona padega, jisse unke operational costs badh sakte hain. Halanki, bade food chains already clean fuels use karte hain, toh unpar asar kam hoga.
Diesel Generators par bhi restrictions
Ab standby power ke liye diesel generators ka use sirf emergency aur zaroori services tak limited kar diya gaya hai. Jo businesses power backup ke liye puri tarah generators par depend karte hain, unhe ab compliance ka dhyan rakhna hoga, warna bhari penalty lag sakti hai. Logistics aur office spaces ke liye yeh ek bada challenge hai.
Investors ke liye update
Yeh har saal ka scene hai, lekin agar AQI aur bigda, toh government Stage-2, 3, ya 4 tak bhi jaa sakti hai. Agle stages mein construction aur industrial activities par bhi ban lag sakta hai, jo infrastructure aur manufacturing stocks ke liye negative ho sakta hai. Filhal, market watchers ko un companies par nazar rakhni chahiye jinka major business Delhi-NCR mein hai aur jo diesel ya traditional cooking fuel par zyada depend karti hain.
