Delhi has implemented strict anti-pollution measures from December 18, barring entry of non-BS VI vehicles into the city and refusing fuel at petrol pumps to vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate as part of Stage-IV of the Graded Response Action Plan to tackle hazardous air quality. Authorities deployed 580 police personnel and 37 enforcement vans at 126 checkpoints to enforce the curbs. The rules target around 1.2 million non-compliant vehicles from neighbouring NCR areas, aiming to cut emissions and improve public health amid worsening smog.
