Rohtak RTA Intensifies Crackdown on Polluting Vehicles

Rohtak RTA Intensifies Crackdown on Polluting Vehicles. In a determined effort to combat rising air pollution levels, the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) in Rohtak has launched stringent measures against vehicles contributing to environmental degradation. Between October 23 and December 11, the RTA has issued challans to 770 vehicles, collecting a substantial fine of 88.67 lakh from their owners.

Major Violations Targeted

Outlining the details, Major (retd) Gayatri Ahlawat, Secretary of the RTA and District Transport Officer (DTO) of Rohtak, emphasized the categories of violations that have been the primary focus:

  • Absence of Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificates: 374 vehicles were penalized for operating without valid PUC certificates, a crucial document for ensuring vehicles meet permissible emission levels.
  • Non-Installation of High-Security Number Plates (HSRPs): 273 vehicles were fined for not having HSRPs and mandatory color-coded stickers.
  • Use of End-of-Life (EOL) Vehicles: 123 vehicles, deemed unfit for use due to surpassing the age limit of 15 years for petrol vehicles and 10 years for diesel vehicles, were either challaned or impounded.

These actions align with the directives from the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which prohibit the operation of vehicles exceeding the stipulated age limits in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Compliance with National Directives

The Haryana Transport Commissioner has instructed all DTOs and RTA secretaries across the state to strictly enforce measures to curb vehicular pollution. This includes:

  • Monitoring the functionality of PUC centers.
  • Conducting rigorous checks on visibly polluting vehicles.
  • Enforcing regulations on EOL vehicles.

The directives are part of broader efforts to adhere to the Supreme Court and NGT rulings, along with guidelines issued by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). These bodies have repeatedly highlighted the need for proactive measures to handle vehicular pollution in the NCR.

Special Drive Under GRAP Norms

Rohtak RTA has launched a special drive under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) to address pollution more effectively. This initiative focuses on strict enforcement of laws, ensuring compliance with state and national environmental policies. The drive aims to:

  • Enhance the efficacy of pollution-checking centers.
  • Deter the use of outdated and polluting vehicles.
  • Regularly update the government on enforcement actions.

A Call to Action

The crackdown on polluting vehicles in Rohtak is a testament to the government’s commitment to mitigating air pollution and ensuring a healthier environment for its citizens. Vehicle owners are urged to comply with regulations, including obtaining valid PUC certificates, installing HSRPs, and retiring EOL vehicles.

Conclusion

The Rohtak RTA proactive measures emphasize the urgent need for compliance with anti-pollution regulations. By targeting violators and promoting responsible vehicle use, these actions contribute significantly to combating air pollution and ensuring a healthier, more sustainable environment for all.
