New Delhi, December 9: The Supreme Court has partially relaxed the ban on construction activities in Delhi-NCR and has allowed the construction from 6 am to 6 pm.

Due to the blanket ban that was imposed, construction projects started being piled on. Delhi Pollution: Air Quality in the National Capital Turns Severe.
