The much touted drive announced by the Transport Department of Delhi Government against polluting vehicles entering the Capital proved to be a non-starter today as the teams supposed to be "guarding" the 10 boundaries of Delhi and also manning 70 points in other parts of the Capital remained largely conspicuous by their absence.However, the announcement of the drive had one positive fall-out -- a large number of vehicles were seen queuing up outside pollution checking centres of the Transport Department for procuring the Pollution Under Control certificates without which the department had declared that it would not allow any vehicle to enter the Capital.
