Delhi Announces Winter Anti-Pollution Curbs From Nov 1
From November 1, the Delhi government will start a set of anti-pollution measures to improve air quality. The list includes restrictions on older vehicles, a ban on dust-generating construction work, and a plan for 50% work-from-home. Parking charges are also set to double under the winter action plan.
Context
Delhi often sees severe smog in winter, when cold air traps pollution close to the ground. Similar winter action plans have been used in the National Capital Region for years, with curbs stepping up as air quality worsens.
