The Delhi government has temporarily suspended its policy to impound end‑of‑life (EoL) vehicles—diesel older than 10 years and petrol over 15 years—just two days after implementation due to technical glitches and public outcry . Environment Minister Sirsa announced that while these vehicles won’t be impounded without proper infrastructure, the fuel denial policy—mandated by the Commission for Air Quality Management and in effect since July 1—remains active . ANPR camera failures, faulty loudspeakers, and lack of data systems triggered the pause . The government has written to CAQM and awaits guidance, promising impoundment only when robust systems are in place. (PC: News 18)
