Delhi Govt. Reviews Vehicle Guidelines, Plans Supreme Court Petition
The Delhi government is looking at rules about old cars.
They are studying the current rules and how people feel about them.
They want to ask the Supreme Court to change the rules so that they are the same as the rest of the country.
Right now, old diesel cars are not allowed in Delhi, but the government thinks this rule might not be fair.
They want to see if they can allow older cars on the roads if they are still safe to drive.
Delhi government departments are studying guidelines on overage vehicles.
The government plans to file a review petition in the Supreme Court regarding end-of-life vehicle rules.
The study involves the environment, transport, and public response to current measures.
A 2018 Supreme Court judgment banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years in Delhi.
The Chief Minister seeks uniform rules for overage vehicles, aligning with national standards.
