The Delhi government will stop supplying fuel to vehicles older than 15 years at petrol pumps across the city starting March 31, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced on Saturday. The decision follows a high-level meeting on measures to combat air pollution in the capital. Sirsa stated that gadgets will be installed at fuel stations to detect old vehicles and prevent them from refueling. The government will also inform the Union Ministry of Petroleum about this policy. Additionally, all high-rise buildings, hotels, and commercial complexes must install anti-smog guns to control pollution levels. As part of its green transition, Delhi will phase out 90% of CNG buses by December 2025 and replace them with electric buses. These measures align with Delhi’s broader efforts to tackle its severe air pollution crisis and promote sustainable public transport. ‘AAP Destroyed Delhi During Its Tenure’: BJP Leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa Alleges ‘Arvind Kejriwal-Led Party Did Not Give Any Ministerial Position to Sikh’.
