Allahabad High Court Directs UP to Decide on E-Rickshaw Registration Restrictions
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to decide within four weeks whether to restrict fresh e-rickshaw registrations in Lucknow and other cities due to traffic congestion concerns. The court noted that around 1.33 lakh e-rickshaws operate in Lucknow, contributing to traffic snarls. It emphasized that e-rickshaws must comply with registration requirements despite fee exemptions and instructed authorities to enforce existing restrictions while ensuring alternative routes for commuters. A compliance report is due by December 9.
