Delhi govt mulls e-challans for violators of pollution certificate norms

New Delhi The Delhi transport department is planning to penalise vehicle owners who have not renewed their pollution under control (PUC) certificates by checking their PUC status at fuel stations through cameras which are linked with the mParivahan software, officials aware of the proposal said on Wednesday.

Violators will receive e-challans, on the lines of challans which are sent for speeding, the officials said.

Section 190(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act makes it mandatory for vehicles to have PUC certificates.
