Recently, in a meeting held to reduce pollution level in the TTZ area, it was decided to ban all 15-year-old vehicles. Now, regional transport department has started proceedings as per the instructions given by the administration.
Talking with TOI, Neha Dwivedi, assistant regional transport officer (administration), said, “As per the TTZ guidelines, we have prepared and handed over the list to the enforcement department of over 66,000 vehicles that have completed 15 years. We have also started issuing notices to the owners. We suggest that the owners get the NOC and register their 15-year-old vehicles in some other district which do not come under TTZ.
“We won’t allow any vehicles over 15 years, including four and two wheelers, to ply on the roads. We have already stopped re-registration of these kinds of vehicles. We have given seven days’ time to the owners to remove their vehicles from the roads. After that, if we find any of these vehicles on the road, we will seize them,” said Sudhir Kumar, regional inspector.
