Delhi Implements Winter Pollution Measures Including Vehicle Ban and Work-From-Home Rules
From November 1 to January 31, Delhi enforces winter pollution control measures including a ban on non-BS-VI vehicles registered outside the city, restrictions on dust-generating construction, doubling of parking fees, and a 50% cap on office attendance. Exemptions apply to CNG, electric, and emergency vehicles. Enforcement involves ANPR cameras, AI surveillance, and special teams. The measures aim to reduce vehicular emissions and dust during peak pollution months but have caused significant traffic congestion, especially at Delhi-NCR borders, affecting commuters and transporters.
