Rather, the stock of the company appears to be high on an order worth Rs 212 crore from the Haryana government related to medical colleges in Karnal and Bhiwani each.  

What Centre's ban on construction activities says

The central government's pollution board said on Thursday that there would be a ban on all non-essential construction and demolition activities in Delhi-NCR.

The order further says that construction related to emergency services, government works and of strategic importance will be allowed during the ban.

The board has also banned the entry of diesel-run trucks during the ban.

The ban came after New Delhi's air quality worsened over the last few days.

The city's current Air Quality Index (AQI) is 411, which falls in the hazardous category and is 23.3 times more than WHO-recommended limits for 24-hour average air quality.
