Summary:

New Delhi, Jan 28 (PTI) Having a valid pollution-under-check certificate will soon be made mandatory for refueling vehicles at fuel pumps in the national capital.

The city government will put a draft policy in this regard in the public domain for inviting suggestions and objections.

Environment Minister Gopal Rai said the policy will help ensure that polluting vehicles do not ply in Delhi and residents enjoy cleaner air.

Reena Gupta, advisor to the minister, said the policy affirms the commitment of the Kejriwal government towards ensuring clean air for all citizens of Delhi.

"Vehicle owners will have to carry their PUCC to the fuel pump.

In case the PUCC is found invalid, they will have to get it reissued at the pump," a statement said.
