Rai to 3 states: Stop diesel buses from entering city
The Morning Standard|October 23, 2024
ENVIRONMENT Minister Gopal Rai on Tuesday wrote to the transport ministers of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, urging them to ensure no diesel buses from their states plied to the national capital in view of GRAP-II restrictions in place.

With the air quality in Delhi plummeting, Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) second stage restrictions kicked in from 8 am.

Rai announced a slew of measures, including enhanced water sprinkling to control road dust, use of dust suppressants and deployment of additional traffic personnel to ease congestion.

The minister in his letters said a major component of air pollution is vehicular emissions largely attributed to diesel buses reaching Delhi.
