Steps to be taken to curb pollution include Burning of paddy crop residue post harvesting may be banned.

All trucks operating on diesel may be run only on electricity within city limits by being attached to vehicles run on electricity while the the incoming trucks are on the outskirts and outgoing trucks may be run only on electricity within city limits with the vehicle being operated on diesel outside city-limits.
