Delhi govt asks neighbouring states not to run old buses in city to control vehicular pollution

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government has asked the neighbouring states, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, not to deploy old buses in the national capital and also those without a valid pollution certificate, sources said on Friday. Transport department officials of the city government held a video-conference with their counterparts from other states on Thursday, they added.

"We requested them not to send old buses to Delhi. We told them that they should not send buses older than eight years to the city to help us contain the pollution levels. Another request was also made not to send those buses that do not have valid pollution under control certificates (PUCCs)," said a source privy to the development.
