Delhi Pollution: Travel Ban Sparks Chaos, Commuters Fume Amidst Fog & New Rules

• Delhi faces chaos at checkpoints and commuter complaints as new pollution-control travel bans take effect.
• Dense fog and poor visibility led to flight advisories from airlines like SpiceJet, Air India, and IndiGo.
• New measures include hybrid work, vehicle entry restrictions, and mandatory PUC certificates, adding to GRAP Stage 4.
• GRAP Stage 4 was enforced after Delhi's AQI remained 'severe'; AQI is now 'very poor'.
• Supreme Court withdrew protection for BS-III and older vehicles, while BS-VI below and non-Delhi registered vehicles are barred during GRAP Stages 3 & 4.
