The severe air quality poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Prolonged exposure to such high pollution levels can lead to respiratory distress, reduced lung function, and other health complications. The thick haze and poor visibility also increase the risk of road accidents. The restrictions under Stage III of GRAP aim to curb vehicular and industrial emissions, but the current conditions remain hazardous for outdoor activities.
