Starting November 1, 2023, Delhi will enforce strict vehicle restrictions barring petrol and diesel vehicles registered outside the city that do not meet BS-VI emission standards. This policy will last until January 31, 2027, and poses significant challenges for the Congress party’s planned rally on the same day, as many attendees may be unable to bring their vehicles into the city. The situation highlights the intersection of environmental policies and political activities in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.
