The police said they had sealed the border and divert truck drivers to alternative routes.
“If there are cases, the vehicle enters the city, directed to take the U-turn from Shankar Chowk Flyover.
However, important items are allowed to pass,” said DCP Ravinder Singh Tomar.
Prohibition of heavy vehicle entries will continue until November 21 and will be reviewed later.
“We will expand it if the level of pollution does not decrease,” Tomar said.
Meanwhile, the day after issuing orders that prohibit the entry of trucks to Delhi, except those carrying important items and tankers carrying petroleum, the Delhi government transportation department wrote to Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Himachal-Pradesh and Rajasthan that Every diesel-run vehicle older than 10 years entering the capital will be confiscated and removed.
The state street road must look at the valid pollution under the control certificate or face Challan.

Delhi traffic police also issued an advisor who prohibited the entry of the truck and said they had mobilized the team at all pickets and 15 border areas to enforce a ban.
Police Special Commissioners Manish Kumar Agarwal said they apply all necessary steps suggested to curb pollution.
“We talk to other departments, truck unions, drivers, and owners to make adequate arrangements for the right parking and stop vehicles outside the Delhi border.
We have suggested that they use a warehouse and transportation hub until the order further,” Agarwal said.
Ashish Kundrra, Secretary of the Principal Secretary of the Commissioner, told TII that 14 enforcement teams had been deployed by the government at the entry point of the border.

All stage train buses are needed to bring PUC certificates.” The letter also mentions that, according to orders SC, the upper government, Haryana and Rajasthan are required to provide a large advertising board at the point of outgoing alternative highways to inform commercial transferring traffic.
