Ghaziabad is gearing up to tackle air pollution. The Regional Transport Office will install number plate recognition cameras. These cameras will be at fuel stations in Noida and Ghaziabad. The aim is to stop older vehicles from refueling. This is to enforce rules against vehicles that pollute more.
