No fuel for overage vehicles after March 31, says Delhi govt

Fuel pumps would be equipped with devices to identify overage vehicles and restrict fuel supply to them, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said after a high-level meeting with officials to discuss anti-pollution measures.

The move aims to curb vehicular emissions and combat air pollution in the city which remains a persistent challenge for the residents.

Talking to reporters, the minister said the Delhi government would inform the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas about the decision and the ministry would, in turn, notify the fuel pump owners.
