Q11. Actions under GRAP Stages II, III and IV may be invoked in advance of AQI reaching the projected level of that stage. 2. Advance invocation is based only on past AQI data, not on weather or meteorological forecasts. 3. Restrictions of previous GRAP stages continue when a higher stage is invoked. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 2 and 3 only
C 1 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the schedule allows advance invocation of Stages II-IV. Statement 2 is incorrect: the trigger uses dynamic modelling and IMD/IITM weather or meteorological forecasts. Statement 3 is correct because restrictions from previous stages continue along with the invoked higher-stage actions.

Q2Consider the following statements about Stage III of GRAP: 1. Stage III corresponds to 'Severe' air quality with Delhi AQI ranging between 401 and 450. 2. Under Stage III, operations of stone crushers in the entire NCR are to be closed down. 3. Under Stage III, all construction and demolition activities are permitted without restrictions if water sprinkling is used. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Statement 1 is true because Stage III is the Severe band of Delhi AQI 401-450. Statement 2 is true because Stage III includes closure of stone crushers in the entire NCR. Statement 3 is false: Stage III imposes strict restrictions on listed dust-generating C&D activities rather than allowing all such work freely.
