New Delhi: With Delhi’s air quality gradually beginning to degrade, Delhi Traffic Police has come up with creative ways to aware people of the same.

Delhi Police took to its Twitter saying ‘Dwarka, Punjabi Bagh Ya Ho Dhaula Kuan Sabko Milkar Delhi Mein Kam Karna Hai Dhuaan!’

In a series of subtle messages, the Delhi Traffic Police has advised people to use bicycles for traveling short distances along with turning off their vehicle engines at red lights and in traffic jams.

They also asked the people to report and complain about the vehicles which are emitting more smoke than other vehicles, along with getting their own vehicles checked for pollution levels and serviced. The only way we can combat air pollution is if we do it together, tweeted a person.

In a recent campaign, Delhi Traffic Police also asked people to get their vehicles checked for pollution levels and get the PUCC for their vehicles.

The national capital always has problems during winters with pollution and once again Delhi’s air quality has begun to deteriorate with the overall air quality index (AQI) recorded at 140 (moderate) on Wednesday.

Experts attributed dry northwesterly winds sweeping into Delhi-NCR, which carry dust and cause temperatures to rise, for the increased pollution.

The Delhi Traffic police asked drivers to get the pollution levels of their vehicles examined in an effort to combat the rising levels of air pollution brought on by unregulated automobiles or traffic.

In an effort to reduce citywide air pollution, the traffic police appealed to commuters on social media. They provided a pricing list, according to which the fine or the PUCC (Pollution Under Control Certificate) Challan costs Rs 10,000 while it costs Rs 60–100 to have the pollution level of cars examined.
