Centre ensures vehicle tracking system implementation in states under Nirbhaya Framework
After observing little progress on setting up monitoring centres by states for implementation of the vehicle tracking system, the Centre has stepped in to ensure effective implementation of the project under the Nirbhaya Framework with an assistance of Rs 332 crore. "Since very little progress could be achieved on setting up the Monitoring Centers, it was felt necessary to support the States under Nirbhaya Framework to set up Monitoring Centers at the earliest so as to effectively implement the vehicle tracking system and ensure safe commute to the women and children in public passenger transport vehicles," the communication said. The ministry earlier had mandated vehicle location tracking device and emergency buttons be fitted in all public service vehicle w e f from April 1, 2018, which was re-examined and it was decided to give exemption to all public service vehicles that were registered till December 31, 2018 from these requirements till the time as notified by state/UT governments. Accordingly, all the specified public service vehicles will be equipped with a VLT device with multiple emergency buttons for requesting an emergency response, the ministry has said.
