Last year in October 2023, the British High Commission in collaboration with the Chandigarh administration, hosted a workshop focused on low emission zones (LEZs) within the city. LEZs, designated areas where access for polluting vehicles is restricted, are a key strategy aimed at enhancing air quality.

Through this knowledge exchange, city officials will be empowered to introduce critical guidelines and policy changes, fostering the successful implementation of low emission zones and sustainable mobility.
