Delhi rolls out new pollution‑control guidelines: what’s allowed and prohibited

Delhi’s municipal administration has issued a fresh set of guidelines aimed at reducing the capital’s chronic air‑pollution problem. The document lists specific activities that residents, businesses and commuters may continue and those that are now prohibited under the city’s clean‑air drive. Officials say the measures are intended to complement existing restrictions on vehicular emissions and industrial discharges. The guidelines will be enforced by local authorities, who will monitor compliance and impose penalties where violations are observed. The move reflects the government’s broader effort to improve air quality ahead of seasonal smog peaks.
