Gurugram to Install 300 ANPR Cameras at Petrol Pumps to Enforce No PUC, No Fuel Rule
The Gurugram administration will install 300 Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at petrol pumps starting November 15 to enforce the 'no Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate, no fuel' policy. These cameras will verify vehicles' PUC status by cross-referencing registration numbers with online records. Petrol pumps must display warning boards in Hindi and English, and vehicles without valid PUC certificates will be denied petrol, diesel, or CNG. Driving without a PUC certificate may result in fines up to Rs 10,000 under the Motor Vehicles Act.
