Delhi residents with vehicles over 15 years old! Starting April 1, your vehicle will no longer be able to refuel in the capital. This bold step, announced by Delhi's Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, is part of the government's aggressive push to tackle the city's dangerous air pollution levels.

The decision follows a series of high-level discussions focused on the health risks linked to pollution. Sirsa criticized the previous administration for not utilizing funds allocated for pollution control, reinforcing the urgency of the situation.

To enforce this policy, a dedicated team will be formed to track and identify non-compliant vehicles, ensuring that only eligible vehicles are allowed to refuel. But this vehicle ban is just one piece of the puzzle.

Delhi's Comprehensive Anti-Pollution Strategy:

1. Plantation Drive by Students: University students will take the lead in massive plantation drives to increase green cover across the city.

2. Monitoring Big Polluters: Industries and organizations contributing to pollution will be required to install monitoring devices to track emissions.

3. Smog Guns for High-Rise Buildings: To combat airborne pollutants, high-rise buildings, hotels, commercial complexes, and even the Delhi airport will be mandated to install smog guns.

4. Creating New Forests: The government plans to develop new forests on barren lands to help absorb pollutants and improve the air quality.

With Delhi battling hazardous pollution levels for months, these measures are designed to provide long-term relief. Will this bold move finally clear the capital’s polluted skies? Time will tell!
