In a bid to tackle the city's notorious air pollution, Delhi's authorities are considering a drastic measure: banning petrol-powered rickshaws and scooters. The Indian capital has long struggled with toxic fumes from vehicles, with levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) frequently exceeding safe limits. The proposed ban is aimed at reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the city's streets and promoting cleaner alternatives, such as electric rickshaws and e-scooters. However, the move is likely to have significant economic and social implications for the thousands of people who rely on these vehicles for their livelihoods.
