Smog and Safety Vehicles

This operation also focused on vehicles that make our air worse. Police issued challans to over 7,200 vehicles for releasing too much smoke, a key effort to reduce the dangerous smog. For example, 421 unsafe vehicles got taken right off the roads because they posed a serious risk. Officers also penalised 3,875 individuals for using non-standard number plates and caught 1,262 people for parking illegally.
