The BJP-led Delhi government on Thursday requested the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) to suspend the enforcement of a proposed ban on supplying fuel to overage vehicles, citing significant technological and logistical hurdles.
In a letter addressed to the CAQM, Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that implementing Direction No. 89, which prohibits fuel dispensing to vehicles beyond their permissible age limits, is not feasible at this stage.
“We urge the Commission to put the implementation of Direction No. 89 on hold with immediate effect till the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is seamlessly integrated across the entire NCR,” the letter stated.
