There is big relief news for Delhiites. BS-4 diesel and BS-3 petrol vehicles will be able to run in the capital from this morning. The Kejriwal government ended the ban imposed due to pollution on Sunday night. The transport department of the Delhi government banned BS-4 diesel and BS-3 petrol vehicles after the air pollution in Delhi reached alarming levels after Diwali. The Delhi government on Sunday said that the ban on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers will be lifted from Monday. An official of the Transport Department said that from Monday, all types of vehicles can ply on the roads of Delhi without any restriction.
BS-4 diesel and BS-3 petrol vehicles will be able to run in Delhi from today. But there is no significant improvement in the level of pollution. The air quality is being recorded in the very poor category with an AQI reading of 303 on Sunday. Delhi's PM2. 5 has increased to 24%. The wind is expected to remain "very poor" for the next two days.
The move comes as a big relief to thousands of vehicle owners in the national capital who could not drive their vehicles on the road due to the restrictions imposed between November 5 and 13. The Transport Department of the Delhi Government had made efforts to keep the air quality under control.
A Delhi transport official said the ban ended on Sunday night. No order extending the ban has been issued. However, he said the situation is being monitored by the authorities, which will be reviewed if the air quality index rises again.
The Air Quality Management Commission banned the movement of BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles till Sunday as part of anti-pollution measures under Phase 3 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAPE).
Around three lakh diesel and two lakh petrol vehicles were affected due to the ban in Delhi. This caused inconvenience to commuters in the national capital and restrictions were imposed on those travelling to the capital from neighbouring cities.
