Delhi Traffic Police announces vehicle entry restrictions under revised GRAP rules from Nov 1
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) The Delhi Traffic Police has announced restrictions on vehicle entry into the national capital under the revised Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), which will come into effect from November 1, 2026, urging motorists to check their vehicles' eligibility before travelling. In a post on X, the Delhi Traffic Police said vehicle entry would be regulated under the revised GRAP rules, with restrictions applicable to certain categories of vehicles to curb pollution and improve air quality in the national capital. According to the advisory, BS-VI-compliant vehicles, CNG vehicles, electric vehicles and exempted vehicles will be allowed entry, subject to applicable rules. The restrictions will apply to vehicles that do not meet BS-VI emission standards and those without a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC). Non-compliant interstate buses will also face restrictions under the revised regulations. Additionally, trucks not destined for Delhi will be required to use peripheral expressways instead of entering the city. Restrictions will also apply to tractors and jugad vehicles, wherever applicable, along with certain vehicles registered outside Delhi. The traffic police have advised commuters to verify their vehicles' eligibility before planning their journeys and follow official traffic advisories to avoid inconvenience. The Delhi Traffic Police also shared its traffic helpline numbers, 011-25844444 and 1095, for assistance and information regarding the restrictions. The revised measures come amid concerns over deteriorating air quality in Delhi-NCR, with authorities stepping up enforcement of pollution-control measures and traffic regulations. Earlier, three FIRs were registered against commercial vehicle operators for allegedly using fake No Entry Permissions (NEPs) during a special enforcement drive conducted by the Northern Range Traffic Police at Delhi's border areas. The drive was carried out on October 27 on the directions of Dr. Sachin Kumar Singhal, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Northern Range, to check commercial vehicles and ensure compliance with traffic regulations amid the implementation of Stage I of GRAP. During the operation, three commercial vehicles were allegedly found using fake NEPs. Subsequently, the police registered three FIRs at the respective police stations under Sections 318(2) and 340(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), as applicable. The enforcement action came after the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) invoked Stage I of GRAP with effect from October 21, following a deterioration in air quality that pushed Delhi into the 'Poor' category.

Chemical recycling turns silicone waste into reusable building blocks with up to 99% yield
Silicones are widely used in industry, medicine and everyday products due to their exceptional thermal and chemical stability. However, it is precisely these properties that have made recycling silicones extremely problematic in the past. Researchers at the Institute of Chemistry at TU Berlin have now succeeded in breaking down the polymer chains of silicone molecules into their basic building blocks. The resulting molecule dimethyldichlorosilane can then be reused as a starting material for the production of new silicone compounds.

J&K faces Rs 95 lakh interest bill for delayed power payments
Srinagar, Oct 29: Jammu and Kashmir has been saddled with an interest liability of nearly Rs 95 lakh for delays in clearing electricity-related payments, an amount that has added to the financial burden of its power sector without bringing any additional electricity to consumers. The liability, disclosed in a fresh statement issued by the Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC), is the highest among 140 utilities and entities listed across northern India and accounts for nearly 45 per cent of the region's total interest payable for the April-June quarter of 2026. The figures come as Kashmir heads into winter, when electricity demand rises and the power department faces the annual challenge of maintaining supply to households and businesses. According to a Document by NRPC, dated October 27, accessed by Rising Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir has been assessed Rs 94,95,917.56 as interest on delayed payment of deviation settlement charges. The total interest payable by all listed utilities stands at Rs 2.12 crore. Punjab has been assessed just Rs 26,021, while Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have no interest payable against their names. Jammu and Kashmir's interest liability is more than 365 times that of Punjab. The charges arise from a mechanism through which power utilities settle differences between the electricity they were scheduled to draw from the grid and what they actually drew. Payments under this mechanism must be cleared within prescribed timelines, with delays attracting interest. For Jammu and Kashmir, the Rs 95 lakh is therefore not a payment towards purchasing electricity. It is an additional financial obligation arising because payments were delayed. While the interest liability cannot be directly linked to any particular power cut or increase in consumer tariffs, it represents an expense that could have been avoided through timely settlement of dues. The NRPC statement does not explain why Jammu and Kashmir accumulated such a large interest amount or identify the individual payments responsible for it. It also does not disclose the principal amount involved or whether the interest has since been cleared. The figures have emerged against the backdrop of continuing concerns over Jammu and Kashmir's ability to meet electricity demand during the colder months, particularly in the Valley, where dependence on electricity for heating places additional pressure on the system. The financial position of the power sector assumes added importance during this period, when arrangements for electricity procurement and grid management become crucial to maintaining supplies. The NRPC has given utilities 15 days from October 27 to point out any discrepancies in the calculations. In the absence of objections, the amounts will be treated as final. The committee has asked the concerned entities to deposit the interest into the Northern Region Deviation Pool Account maintained by the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre. The statement covers the first quarter of 2026-27 alone, leaving open the question of whether further interest liabilities have accumulated since June.
