Invalid PUCC punished 69,000 automobiles, over 43,000 for GRAP violations
Even during this time period, measures were taken against automobiles that entered Delhi that were classified as BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicle.
Nearly one month after the implementation of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) III, the transport department sanctioned nearly 60,000 vehicles that were operating without valid Pollution Under Control Certificates (PUCC). This occurred in New Delhi.
According to the authorities, challans were distributed to the owners of 59,940 automobiles during the GRAP period of stages III and IV, which began on November 3.As an additional measure, the transport authority levied penalties on automobiles. In total, they brought back almost 43,000 automobiles that had been barred from operating on public roads.
There were approximately 24,063 automobiles with BS-III (petrol) and BS-IV (diesel) that were checked at the border, and 56% of these vehicles were returned at the border, as stated by the officials.On the other hand, more than 19,000 owners of similar vehicles were subject to challans.
From the 3rd to the 5th of November, GRAP III was in effect in Delhi. During this time period, the entry of automobiles with a BS-III gasoline version and a BS-IV diesel version was prohibited in the city of Delhi. With regard to the 3,451 automobiles of this kind that entered Delhi, action was taken.
Amidst this, BS-IV was in effect from November 6th to November 18th. Even during this time period, measures were taken against automobiles that entered Delhi that were classified as BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicle.
It has been determined that the most significant contributor to pollution in the city is the emissions produced by vehicles. The findings of a recent study that was conducted in conjunction with the government of Delhi and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur found that automotive emissions were responsible for around 38 percent of the air pollution in the capital city.
“Air pollution is a big problem in India, which can be ascribed to a number of different sources, one of which is emissions from vehicles. The presence of a valid PUCC implies that a vehicle has been successful in passing a pollution control test and is emitting gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons within the limits that have been defined, according to an official.
