Delhi Pollution: Sushant Mehra Reports on Permanent 'No PUC No Fuel' Rule and BS-6 Ban

In this broadcast, India Today's Anjali Istwal and Sushant Mehra discuss the critical pollution situation in the national capital as the Air Quality Index (AQI) hovers near the 'severe' category at 391. The Delhi government has decided to lift GRAP-4 restrictions but has mandated two permanent measures: 'fuel will not be provided to vehicles without a valid pollution certificate' and a ban on non-BS6 compliant vehicles. Sushant Mehra reports from the ground, noting that 'enforcement teams have been deployed on all the petrol pumps in Delhi to monitor the situation' using ANPR cameras. The segment also highlights concerns about potential chaos at fuel stations and the lack of adequate public transport for commuters from NCR regions like Gurgaon and Noida. Additionally, schools for nursery to Class 6 are running in hybrid mode while construction activities resume under strict guidelines.
