Delhi Air Pollution: Dense Smog Grips Delhi-NCR Again, Strict Curbs Begin as Visibility Drops and Pollution Worsens

Delhi-NCR continues to remain under a thick blanket of smog and fog, with visibility dropping sharply across several areas. Visuals from JLN Stadium, Najafgarh, Kashmere Gate, RK Puram, Anand Vihar, and Dhaula Kuan show dense haze and darkness even during daytime. With no immediate relief from pollution, the Delhi government has enforced strict measures from today. Entry of non-BS6 vehicles from other states is banned, allowing only CNG and electric vehicles. Fuel will not be provided without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. Construction material vehicles are restricted, and offices will operate with 50% staff, rest working from home. Rising pollution continues to affect daily life and public health in the capital.
