The ban on the entry of heavy vehicles into the national capital was lifted on Tuesday, four days after it was imposed due to alarming pollution levels, even as a thick haze engulfed the city with the air quality remaining in the “severe” category with the authorities saying that rains in some parts of the national capital has made the air heavier and increased pollution.
The Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) said heavy vehicles would now ply on normal timings between 11 pm and 6 am.
On Monday, EPCA allowed entry of only those vehicles which were stranded for the previous four days at Delhi borders, as it anticipated the situation getting out of hand with the owners of over a 1,000 trucks getting “restive”.
