Old vehicles will not get fuel from November 1: Rules implemented in 5 cities including Delhi
Old diesel and petrol vehicles in Delhi have now got relief till November 1, as CAQM has deferred the plan of not providing and seizing fuel.
New Delhi: Diesel and petrol vehicles that have completed their life span have got four more months of relief in Delhi. The central commission CAQM related to pollution control has now decided to implement the plan of not giving fuel to old vehicles and seizing them at pumps from November 1.
In the earlier instructions, the campaign against 10 year old diesel and 15 year old petrol vehicles was to start from July 1. But the Delhi government had written a letter to the previous commission demanding to postpone these steps.
Apart from Delhi, these 5 districts are included
The commission has now decided that action against old vehicles will be started simultaneously from November 1 in Delhi and five districts of NCR – Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar and Sonipat. After this order of the commission, now the vehicles which have completed their age in Delhi will start getting fuel at the pumps.
Time given till 31 October
Earlier, the Delhi government had requested to stop the campaign against old vehicles until ANPR cameras, which identify them by reading the number plate, are installed in the entire NCR. The commission has given time till 31 October to complete this work. These cameras read the number plate and get information like age, registration from the database.
Petrol and diesel were also banned
Earlier, the Delhi government had issued clear guidelines before July 1, saying that if a person takes old vehicles to the petrol pump to fill petrol or diesel, he will neither get petrol nor diesel. At the same time, petrol pump owners were also asked to remain alert for this. However, some vehicles were also seized during this period.
