Delhi trade associations in a huddle over diesel vehicles ban from October

Live Mint  

NEW DELHI: Several city-based trade associations will come together on Wednesday to deliberate on the impact of a five-month ban on the entry of diesel vehicles in the national capital from 1 October. Citing the phenomenon of severe pollution during winter, the Delhi government last week banned the entry of medium and heavy vehicles from 1 October 2022 to 28 February 2023. The announcement followed a day after the Delhi government urged Haryana to allow only BS VI emission norm-compliant buses to enter the national capital from 1 October. "It is certainly very important to protect the environment from pollution and effective steps are needed to check pollution in Delhi, but at the same time it should also be ensured that such order may not disturb other revenue and livelihood generating activities in Delhi,” CAIT secretary general Praveen Khandelwal said on Tuesday.
