Delhi winter pollution plan: Construction banned, double parking fee, 50% WFH
Delhi officials have announced a comprehensive plan to combat winter pollution, taking effect from December 10 to January 20. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa outlined the measures, which include a ban on construction and demolition activities, double parking fees, and a 50% work-from-home mandate. Petrol, diesel, and CNG/LPG retail outlets will only sell fuel to vehicles with a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC), while vehicles with invalid PUCCs will face an enforcement drive starting October 1.
Key measures also include staggered office timings, increased parking fees, and phased construction curbs. The Delhi government aims to strengthen pollution control efforts throughout the year, not just during the winter months.
