Sonepat Police Set Up 12 Checkpoints to Enforce Air Quality Measures at Delhi Border
Sonepat police have established 12 checkpoints along the Sonepat-Delhi border to enforce the Commission for Air Quality Management's (CAQM) Stage-I Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) and the Winter Action Plan 2026-27. These checkpoints aim to inspect vehicles entering Delhi for valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates, monitor overage petrol and diesel vehicles, and prevent illegal transportation of firecrackers. Authorities are also ensuring smooth traffic flow and may add barricades on other routes if necessary, while diverting non-Delhi-bound vehicles via expressways as per Supreme Court directions.
