The Delhi government has taken a tough decision in view of the problem of pollution in Delhi. Driving a vehicle without a valid PUC can be punished with a fine of Rs 10,000 and imprisonment for 3 years or with both.
If you live in Delhi then you must read this news. Let us tell you that on Wednesday, the Delhi government has issued instructions to all petrol pumps to provide fuel only to those vehicle owners who have a valid ‘Pollution Control Certificate’ for their vehicles.
Notice issued from Transport Department The Transport Department of Delhi has issued a notice directing all those vehicle owners to get their vehicles checked for PUCC, whose vehicles (except electric or battery operated vehicles) ) are more than 1 year old from the date of registration.Â
10,000 fine and 3 years imprisonment The transport department asked the vehicle owners to obtain valid PUCC before October 25 to avoid inconvenience and action under the law. The notice said that, ‘driving a vehicle without valid PUCC is punishable with a fine of Rs 10,000 and imprisonment for 3 years or both. In view of the problem of pollution in Delhi, the government has taken this tough decision.
What is the reason, let us tell you that the Environment Department is contemplating to issue a notification making it mandatory for all dealers of petrol, diesel and CNG pumps to have a valid PUCC from October 25. Fuel should be sold to vehicles only on display. The problem of severe air pollution is seen in Delhi from October to December. Due to the burning of stubble in the surrounding areas, the fog fills Delhi and people find it difficult to breathe.
The damage to the environment is the big role of vehicles in spreading air pollution, which are running on the old road for many years. Even after the action of the traffic department, the efforts are insufficient. Pollution is under control, for this vehicles have to take PUCC, which shows that the pollution of such vehicle is under control and there is no harm to the environment. It is seen that after the PUCC certificate expires, people drive vehicles on the roads. Now such people should not get petrol.
There are so many checking centers in Delhi that the Transport Department of Delhi Government has set up 954 pollution checking centers in Delhi, which are run in petrol pumps and workshops. PUCC certificate can be obtained at these centres. Before this, the pollution of the vehicle will be checked and a certificate will be given on the same basis. You will also get the facility to get this certificate made online. For this, a certificate will have to be taken by visiting the website of vehicle transport.
