Three emission-checking lines have been set up around the outskirts
of Beijing to prevent air-polluting vehicles from entering the capital.
This is part of the continuing efforts taken by the Beijing government
to fight air pollution.
A story in the Beijing Morning Post reports on the situation at
a checkpoint in Changping District.
Most offending vehicles were coal-carrying trucks from Hebei and
Shanxi provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Beijing traffic departments have notified their counterparts in
neighboring regions to warn drivers to check their vehicle's emissions
before heading for the capital.
The current campaign to round up air polluting cars began a week
ago. So far, 661 such cars have been temporarily detained.
