Teams in action to curb diesel-run vehicles

In order to effectively implement the National Green Tribunal order banning the plying of diesel vehicles, which are more than 10 years old, the city government has asked the Delhi Police to direct all SHOs to deploy adequate personnel at entry points to deal with law and order problems.

In his letter to Special Commissioner (Law and Order) Deepak Mishra, Transport special commissioner Sanjay Kumar Sexena said that several enforcement teams have been deployed at seven entry points of national highways to check the entry of overloaded, over-aged, and polluting vehicles in Delhi.

“Taking up the challenge of enforcing the NGT ban on diesel vehicles older than 10 years, Delhi Traffic Police and Delhi Transport Authority are keeping an eagle eye on all 23 entry points to Delhi,” said a senior government official.
