Breaking: Delhi Enforces Strict Anti-Pollution Rules as Smog Chokes NCR, Only BS6, CNG, EVs Allowed Entry

Delhi has implemented strict anti-pollution measures starting today to tackle worsening air quality. Entry of vehicles from other states is restricted to BS6-compliant, CNG, and electric vehicles only. Petrol, diesel, and CNG will not be provided without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate, and transport and police teams are deployed at borders and fuel stations. Dense smog continues to blanket Delhi-NCR, with AQI remaining in the “very poor” category for the next six days. Parliament will hold a four-hour discussion on Delhi pollution, led by Priyanka Gandhi, with BJP leaders presenting the government’s stand. Rising pollution is impacting public health, mobility, and business activity across the capital.
