Delhi: DFS deploys tenders at 13 hotspots in city to reduce pollution

At present, 372 tankers have been deployed to sprinkle water. “We expect this will help reduce dust and improve AQI in a few days,” said an officer.

Meanwhile, Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory prohibiting entry of trucks, except those carrying essential items, till November 21 after the Commission for Air Quality Management issued guidelines. A senior officer said they stopped over 500 trucks at the borders.

Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Manish Kumar Agarwal said they are implementing measures to curb pollution. “We are talking to other departments, truck unions, drivers and owners to arrange proper parking and halting of vehicles outside Delhi borders,” he said.
