India Today investigation exposes cash for PUC certificate scam in Delhi

In this episode of Newstrack, the focus is on India Today's special investigation into Delhi's pollution control measures. An undercover operation revealed that Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates are being issued illegally without any vehicle tests in exchange for money. The programme highlights how corrupt centres provide certificates to polluting vehicles for a bribe, undermining the fight against the city's toxic air. A Union Minister acknowledges the transport sector's significant contribution to emissions, while the Delhi administration faces criticism for enforcement failures. The report also exposes private buses openly flouting BS4 and BS6 norms.
