Delhi's new winter pollution curbs led to long queues at the Delhi-Gurugram and Delhi-Noida borders on Sunday, even as the city's AQI deteriorated to 261. The restrictions include vehicle checks, construction curbs, higher parking charges and limits on office attendance.
Delhi's winter anti-pollution measures have triggered heavy traffic congestion at the city's borders, with vehicles queuing up for emission checks as the Air Quality Index (AQI) deteriorated to 261, the worst reading of the season so far. The restrictions, which include bans on vehicles with older emission standards and a doubling of parking charges, are aimed at reducing vehicular emissions and dust pollution during the winter months.
However, commuters have expressed frustration over the long queues and the potential lack of improvement in air quality.
