# Heavy traffic jams were reported at Delhi's borders on Sunday as new anti-pollution rules came into effect. Long queues formed at the Delhi-Gurugram and Delhi-Noida entry points as officials checked vehicles. The restrictions aim to control rising pollution during winter. Delhi recorded an AQI of 261, its highest reading in 198 days. Jahangirpuri reported the worst AQI at 378. The new measures include restrictions on older vehicles, a ban on outdoor construction work, higher parking charges and work-from-home rules for 50% of office staff. The measures will remain in place until February 28.
