Delhi Pollution: Manjinder Sirsa Cites AQI Data, Defends 'No PUC, No Fuel' Rule

In a broadcast regarding the air pollution situation in the Delhi NCR region, Delhi Minister Manjinder Sirsa addressed the current Air Quality Index (AQI) levels and defended the ‘No PUC, No Fuel’ rule. Manjinder Sirsa stated that the average AQI in the last seven days was 450, comparing it to the previous year's figure of 452. Emphasising a target to reduce the AQI by '100 to 125 units' annually, he cited the 'No PUC, No Fuel' policy as a compliance measure. The address highlighted a story about strict enforcement where a vehicle was refused fuel due to a failed pollution test. The speaker expressed satisfaction with the progress, noting, 'I am sure of this and I am satisfied that whatever we have succeeded in doing, we have brought it down by at least 100-125.'
