App down, rule on hold: Day 1 of 'no PUCC, no fuel' marred by confusion at Noida, Ghaziabad pumps

Noida and Ghaziabad's 'no PUCC, no fuel' rule faced significant confusion due to technical disruptions on its first day. Fuel stations reported that the verification app failed to function properly from the morning onward. Despite the intended checks, many vehicles continued to receive fuel without the required pollution under control certificates. Some petrol station operators tried to enforce the rule, while others opted to continue dispensing fuel.
