With fewer vehicles rolling in and enforcement teams stationed at entrances, petrol pumps across the national capital on Thursday wore a quieter look as the ‘No PUC, No Fuel’ rule came into force to curb worsening air pollution.
At several fuel stations, vehicles were seen queued up as pollution certificates were checked, while some motorists without documents were turned away, prompting a few to make phone calls for help.
At a Janpath petrol pump, Mukesh Kumar said the rules were justified but also questioned how people could be expected to stop using vehicles bought with hard-earned money.
Another consumer at the pump supported the move, saying the rule was necessary to control pollution.
A DTC in charge, JD Sharma, deployed at a petrol pump, said checks were being carried out manually as there were no cameras at the location.
“We are checking pollution certificates and noting down vehicle details, which will be shared with the department concerned,” he said.
