New Delhi: The government is taking more measures in Delhi where the air quality remains in critical category. Medium and heavy goods diesel vehicles have been banned from entering Delhi as they increase pollution. Vehicles carrying essential goods are exempted from the ban. The transport department has announced that a fine of Rs 20,000 will be levied on vehicles violating the directive.
Meanwhile, there is no ban on CNG-electric trucks entering Delhi. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that air pollution is not only a problem in Delhi but also in North India. BJP is politicizing the issue. Arvind Kejriwal pointed out that the central government should intervene to solve the problem and it is not something that can be handled by the Delhi government alone.
