New Delhi- Along with Delhi, old vehicles will no longer get petrol and diesel in five districts of NCR. According to sources in the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), this rule will come into effect from November 1. Let us tell you that in the capital, there was a ban on fueling diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years.
On which the Delhi government took a U-turn and stopped the campaign to seize old vehicles. The government wrote a letter to CAQM citing technical challenges and complex systems so that the fuel ban on old vehicles can be lifted.
What was in the letter?
Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa wrote a letter to CAQM requesting it to reconsider the order to seize old vehicles. The letter said that there are technical flaws in the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system. It is also not applicable in the entire NCR. In such a situation, it is hasty to implement the fuel ban order.
