Delhi's 'No PUC, No Fuel' campaign resulted in 3,746 vehicle challans and 568 vehicles turned back within 24 hours of launch, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced. Joint Delhi Traffic Police and Transport Department teams checked approximately 5,000 vehicles at key entry points. Additionally, 217 non-destined trucks were diverted via Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways. PUCC issuance surged to 61,912 certificates between December 17-18, indicating increased compliance. Sirsa emphasized strict enforcement and growing public cooperation reduced outside vehicle inflow. Authorities deployed smartplate-reader devices at intersections while conducting manual checks elsewhere. Fuel stations denied service to non-compliant vehicles. Sirsa warned enforcement continues during peak winter pollution, flagging private offices' incomplete work-from-home advisory compliance.
