NCR Authorities Enforce Phase-Out and Seizure of Older Vehicles to Curb Pollution
Authorities in the National Capital Region (NCR) are intensifying efforts to phase out older commercial and private vehicles to reduce pollution. In Gurugram, around 22,000 trucks and buses meeting BS-I to BS-IV emission norms have been identified for scrapping or relocation under the Centre's Parivartan scheme. Meanwhile, Gautam Budh Nagar officials have seized over 650 end-of-life diesel and petrol vehicles violating age-based restrictions, handing them to registered scrapping facilities. These measures aim to improve air quality ahead of the pollution season.
