The National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Supreme Court have issued rulings stating that serious steps must be taken to remove overage polluting vehicles from the capital in the larger public interest. Accordingly, Delhi transport department officials on Wednesday said they will not stop lifting parked overage (end of life) vehicles.
“We would urge the people of Delhi to take an NOC (no objection certificate) from the transport department and sell off their overage vehicles failing which they run the risk of their vehicles getting confiscated for scrapping if such vehicles are found to ply on roads of Delhi or are parked on public streets. Air pollution has larger implications on public health, and it is our shared responsibility to ensure that our children are able to breathe clean air", Transport minister Ashish Kundra said.
