Facing criticism from automobile dealers and buyers of non-electric two-wheelers for banning the registration from October 6, the UT administration is likely to give relief.
During a meeting at the UT Secretariat here on Tuesday, UT administrator Bawarilal Purohit directed officers of the administration to examine the decision of banning the registration of non- electric two-wheelers and asked them to take a decision accordingly.
Purohit cited the cost of electric vehicles which are costlier than fossil fuel-based vehicles and also availability of options in electric vehicles are limited. If a resident buys a vehicle from Panchkula or Mohali, will the administration be able to stop him/her, he questioned.
