New Traffic Rules: Winter is soon approaching and it will bring new traffic rules. In Delhi’s winters, pollution is the most discussed topic. This time, the Delhi administration claims to be taking severe measures to combat pollution. The Delhi government has announced that those who do not have a PUC certificate (Pollution Under Control Certificate) will be denied petrol-diesel at the pump beginning October 25.
