Delhi Tightens Vehicle Entry Rules Amid Severe Pollution, Non-BS6 Vehicles Banned
Pollution Challan: Following the implementation of new restrictions on vehicles violating the rules, the Delhi Police and Transport Authority have increased their enforcement at Delhi's borders.
In the midst of such a polluted environment in Delhi, the government has also tightened control over vehicles. A new set of restrictions has been imposed at the entry points of the national capital, banning the entry of all non-BS6 vehicles. Those caught are either being fined heavily or made to return. The motive is to ensure that such environment-deteriorating vehicles do not enter the national capital.
To implement the new norms, teams of Delhi Police and the Transport Department are being deployed at major border entry points in the national capital. Kalindi Kunj, Chilla border, Ghazipur, and the DND Flyway are being barricaded, and a proper checking process of the vehicles is being conducted there. Checking of the registration, emission, and pollution control certificates of the vehicles is being carried out at this border station.
During the inspections, vehicles registered outside Delhi and found to be non-compliant with BS6 standards are being specifically stopped. Owners of such vehicles are being given a clear option: either pay a fine of ₹20,000 or take a U-turn and return. Officials say there will be no relaxation of the rules.
