The meeting, as per officials' quotes to media, will take place at Delhi Secretariat.

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai and other officials of concerned departments will attend the meeting. 

The overall air quality in the national capital continued to be 'severe' fifth consecutive day, the Central Pollution Control Board stated. 

Delhi's AQI at 9 am was recorded as 400 which falls under the Very poor category and similarly AQI in Ashok Vihar was at 398, again in the very poor category. 

According to the data issued by the System of Air Quality Forecasting and Research (SAFAR-India), the air quality in the National Capital was recorded at 488, up from 410 a day ago.

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Sunday decided to invoke Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in the entire National Capital Region (NCR) with immediate effect to prevent further deterioration of air quality.

The Air Quality Commission said that Stage IV will be implemented in addition to the restrictions placed under Stage I to III.

According to the 8-point action plan, there will be a ban on entry of truck traffic into Delhi (except for those essential). GRAP Stage-IV restrictions also include NCR State Govts and GNCTD may take a decision on discontinuing physical classes even for classes VI-IX, and class XI and conduct lessons in an online mode.

Doctors say, for any healthy person, a recommended AQI should be less than 50, but these days the AQI has spiked beyond 400, which could prove fatal for those suffering from lung-related diseases and even poses a risk of lung cancer.
