Pollution-related traffic challans up amid crackdown
December 21, 2024
|Hindustan Times
Traffic police impounded an average of 140 end-of-life vehicles (ELVS) per day, and fined 4,800 vehicles per day for plying in Delhi without a valid pollution under control (PUC) certificates between October 15 and December 18, according to data on the crackdown launched as part of its anti-pollution measures in the city.
The crackdown comes on the heels of the Central Air Quality Commission (CAQM) implementing the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap) in the Capital on October 15 to combat the rising air pollution.
ELVs include diesel vehicles over 10 years old and petrol vehicles over 15 years old, prohibited under Delhi's vehicle scrappage policy.
During the two-month crackdown, police impounded 8,907 ELVs and fined 307,360 vehicles for not having PUC certificates. Additionally, 856 vehicles carrying uncovered construction and demolition (C&D) waste received tickets, averaging 13 daily.
