In a significant move to curb vehicular pollution, Delhi authorities have mandated that petrol and diesel will only be dispensed to vehicles possessing a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. Non-compliance will result in substantial fines.
Effective immediately in Delhi, petrol and diesel stations will refuse service to vehicles lacking a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. This directive aims to address the persistent issue of air pollution within the National Capital Region.
The enforcement includes the imposition of significant fines for vehicle owners found operating without the mandatory PUC certificate. This measure is expected to encourage vehicle owners to ensure their vehicles meet emission standards, thereby contributing to cleaner air.
Authorities are emphasizing strict adherence to this rule to mitigate the environmental impact of vehicular emissions. The move is part of broader efforts to combat the deteriorating air quality in Delhi.
