Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Monday said that “red light on, gaadi off” campaign will begin from Thursday, October 26. He informed that bikes were causing maximum pollution, and requested motorcyclists to get their “Pollution Under Control Certificate” (PUCs) updated.
Rai further said that metro authorities have been directed to increase the frequency of the train, and the same instructions have been given to buses.
“There are 13 pollution hotspots in Delhi. Today, eight other points, including Shadipur, Mandir Marg, Patparganj, Sonia Vihar and Moti Bagh, witnessed AQI levels above 300 due to local reasons. Special teams will be deputed here to identify and inspect local sources of pollution there,” the environment minister said.
