Fake PUC racket drains Assam revenue, fuels toxic air

There's a big problem where people in Assam are getting fake pollution check certificates for their vehicles from places like Haryana and Rajasthan.

These certificates are given without actually checking the vehicle's emissions, which is bad for the environment and costs Assam a lot of money.

The fake certificates mean that vehicles that should fail the pollution tests are allowed to run, making the air dirtier and harming people's health, especially children and older adults.

The Assam government is losing money because of this, and officials are looking into the issue.

It's a serious problem because it affects people's health and the environment.
