GRAP-4 Rules Made Permanent 

Delhi has made two GRAP-4 pollution curbs permanent, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa announced. One key measure is that vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC) will no longer be sold petrol until further notice. “From now on, it has been decided that out of the restrictions under GRAP-4, we have made two restrictions permanent. The first one is PUCC. You will not get petrol anywhere without a PUCC certificate until next orders,” Sirsa said on Friday.
