Delhi-NCR has been fighting another winter full of deadly pollution levels. The national capital and adjacent cities have been witnessing thick layers of smog every day, which is engulfing the cities throughout the day, not only creating low visibility for motorists but also breathing troubles for many citizens alongside other problems.

The Delhi Traffic Police has strictly enforced the GRAP 3 guidelines and cracking down on any vehicle violating the restrictions. The restrictions are not only followed in Delhi but also in Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Noida. Vehicle owners found violating the GRAP 3 norms will be slapped with a fine of ₹20,000. However, private vehicles which have BS 4 petrol and BS 6 diesel certification and above will be allowed to ply in Delhi-NCR during this period without any restrictions.

Vehicle owners who take their cars out during the GRAP 3 restrictions in Delhi-NCR, need to carry valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates for their vehicles. The Delhi Traffic Police has cracked down heavily on vehicles without a valid PUC certificate amid rising pollution levels in the city. Not carrying a valid PUC certificate could lead to a fine of ₹10,000. (PTI)
