On-the-ground reporting from Delhi reveals a massive crackdown on vehicular pollution as the 'No PUCC, No Fuel' rule is strictly enforced across petrol pumps today. With a 50% surge in pollution certificate requests, authorities are ensuring compliance at fuel stations. Simultaneously, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has mandated registration for bulk waste generators with fees ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 10,000, aiming to curb urban solid waste mismanagement.
Youth Engagement and Administrative Shifts
In addition to pollution control, grassroots initiatives like the 'Main Bhi Yamuna Prahari' app are mobilizing thousands of students from 30 colleges to pledge their support for cleaning the Yamuna River. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court has refused to grant a 10-year age relaxation for MCD primary teacher recruitment, keeping the strict 30-year upper age limit intact. These developments highlight a comprehensive tightening of regulatory frameworks across the capital.
