Delhi Chokes as GRAP-4 Flouted | Night Check Exposes Illegal Construction Amid Smog Crisis

On this Special Report, India Today's Shreya Dhoundial and Amit Bhardwaj discuss the severe fog and smog crisis gripping the national capital, with visibility dropping and flight operations facing significant delays. The bulletin features an exclusive 'Night Check' investigation by Nitin Jain, exposing how construction bans under GRAP-4 are being openly flouted in New Delhi's high-security zones. Despite the 'Red Alert' and severe AQI levels, the investigation reveals active construction sites and banned machinery operating under the cover of darkness. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa assures India Today that 'action will be taken' against these violations. The programme also highlights the political apathy as the Winter Session of Parliament concludes without addressing the toxic air crisis.
