Delhi Pollution: 'No PUC, No Fuel' Rule Flouted at Petrol Pumps on Day 1 of Enforcement

In this report, India Today investigates the implementation of the Delhi government's 'No PUC, No Fuel' rule, enforced from December 18, 2025, to combat rising pollution. Correspondent Sushant Mehra conducts a reality check at a petrol pump near Delhi Gate, revealing that the directive is being openly flouted. Despite posters declaring 'No PUC, No Fuel,' staff members admit they are dispensing petrol without checking certificates. One worker states, 'We will put oil, we will take money,' citing the inability to manage aggressive customers and a lack of official enforcement personnel on-site. The segment highlights the disconnect between the administration's anti-pollution measures and the logistical challenges faced by fuel station employees on the ground.
