Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing pollution challenges in the city. She stated that the administration is actively working to overcome existing issues and achieve tangible outcomes. The Chief Minister highlighted the focus on creating a cleaner and more attractive Delhi for its residents.
In a recent review meeting, the government outlined key decisions to tackle pollution effectively. These decisions include strict enforcement of Pollution Under Control (PUC) norms, exploring shared electric bus services, and implementing new guidelines for e-rickshaws and rationalizing bus routes. The administration aims to take a zero-tolerance stance towards all pollution sources.
Chief Minister Gupta expressed concern over vehicles operating without valid PUC certificates, emphasizing that fines for polluting vehicles will not be waived. The government’s priority is to ensure clean and healthy air for the citizens, with a focus on reducing emissions and promoting eco-friendly mobility options. Discussions with private sector companies like Ola and Uber are set to commence to enhance pollution-free transportation in the region.
To address traffic congestion caused by unregulated e-rickshaws, the government plans to issue comprehensive guidelines to regulate their operations effectively. These guidelines will help streamline traffic flow and improve road management in Delhi. The administration remains steadfast in its commitment to achieving zero emissions and enhancing public transport sustainability in the capital.
