  "account": "The Delhi High Court has rejected the petition demanding an urgent hearing to challenge the BJP-led city government's decision to prohibit the entry of non-compliant vehicles in New Delhi starting November 1. Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and Justice Sanjay Sharma stated that the decision is justified and does not require expedited consideration. The court also dismissed concerns about the impact on residents traveling from neighboring regions, noting the availability of alternative transportation options. The ruling affects over 10 lakh vehicles from Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, which must comply with the new emission standards. BS IV passenger cars and commercial vehicles registered outside Delhi will be barred, with two-wheelers exempted. The directive aims to curb air pollution in the capital, which continues to be a major concern despite the presence of BS VI, CNG and electric vehicles.",
