Heavy congestion was seen at several entry points, particularly along the Delhi-Gurugram and Delhi-Noida borders, as traffic police and enforcement personnel conducted checks on vehicles entering the national capital.
Delhi Traffic Police has also held an important coordination meeting with police officers of neighbouring districts to control the movement of vehicles on the border.
On Sunday, the first day of new air pollution control restrictions in Delhi, heavy traffic jams were witnessed at the city's borders. Air quality plummeted into the "poor" category, the worst this season. This is the most worrying situation in the last 198 days.
