Delhi Pollution Under Control Centres Shut Amid Protest Over Fee Hike

The closure call of Pollution Under Control Centres (PUCC) by the petrol dealers comes following the Delhi government's proposed hike in pollution certificate charges.

Around 600 PUC centres across 400 petrol pumps in the national capital will remain closed from Monday in response to a protest call by petrol dealers and pump owners.

The closure call of Pollution Under Control Centres (PUCC) by the Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association (DPDA) comes following the Delhi government's proposed hike in pollution certificate charges.

DPDA president Nischal Singhania told PTI that the association has decided to go ahead with the strike as the running of PUCC centres have become unviable.
