Haryana police set up 12 checkpoints for Delhi-bound vehicles from 1 November
The Story in Brief
Police in Jhajjar and Sonipat districts of Haryana have stepped up enforcement ahead of winter pollution restrictions in Delhi, warning that vehicles failing emission standards will not be allowed to enter the national capital from 1 November to 31 January. Sonipat Police has set up 12 checkpoints along the border, including at locations on NH-44, Safiyabad, Lampur, Shivpuri, Saboli, Jhinjhauli, KMP-KGP zero point and Nahri double canal bridge. The checks are under directions from the Commission for Air Quality Management under GRAP Stage-I and the Winter Action Plan 2026-27.
Only CNG, electric and BS-VI-compliant diesel vehicles will be allowed into Delhi, said DCP (Traffic) Jhajjar Shubham Singh. Police will check valid Pollution Under Control certificates, monitor excessive smoke and take action against overage petrol and diesel vehicles. Vehicles passing through without a destination in the area will be diverted via KMP and KGP expressways as per Supreme Court directions. On NH-44, repair work on the Drain No. 8 flyover near Pyau Maniyari may cause congestion for three to four days. Sonipat Police has suggested alternative routes via Baghpat and Loni border or Barwasni-Bawana-Dwarka.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The winter restrictions, enforced from November through January, affect lakhs of daily commuters on the Delhi-NCR corridor. The checkpoints create a hard filter: only CNG, electric and BS-VI diesel vehicles will enter Delhi, and vehicles without a local destination must take expressway diversions. Motorists face additional delays from the three-to-four-day flyover repair on NH-44 near Pyau Maniyari. The enforcement hinges on valid PUC certificates, which many older vehicles lack, and police have warned of action against overage petrol and diesel vehicles. Compliance will be tested as the restrictions run until 31 January.
