In a bid to combat the air pollution menace in the national capital region (NCR), the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Tuesday ordered immediate closure of all industries that have not switched over to cleaner fuels in industrial areas despite their availability.
The body said violating industries/industrial units will not be permitted to operate till December 12, 2021, and the order will be reviewed thereafter for further decisions.
Besides, the Delhi government said the ban on entry of trucks, barring CNG and e-trucks and those carrying essential commodities, will continue till further orders.
