New restrictions kick in as Delhi battles pollution
Authorities in New Delhi stepped up anti-pollution measures on Sunday, including higher parking fees and work-from-home orders, seeking to curb toxic smog in one of the world's most polluted capitals.
Delhi has implemented new anti-pollution measures, including higher parking fees, work-from-home orders, and a ban on vehicles that don't meet emission standards, in response to the city's toxic smog. The Winter Action Plan, which came into effect on November 1, also includes a ban on dust-generating demolition and outdoor construction activities. Authorities hope these measures will help reduce the city's air pollution, which is primarily caused by vehicle emissions, biomass burning, and industrial activity.
