Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The Delhi government has kicked off the process to scrap its end-of-life vehicles, with all the departments asked to prepare a list of such vehicles owned by them and share it with the transport department, state transport commissioner Ashish Kundra said. The Delhi transport department is running a drive to push overage vehicles off the roads in the city. Kundra said that the transport department is running a drive to push overage vehicles off the roads in Delhi, where driving petrol-run vehicles that are older than 15 years and diesel ones older than 10 years is illegal, according to orders by the National Green Tribunal and the Supreme Court. Earlier this month, chief secretary Naresh Kumar had directed all the departments to take measures to scrap overage vehicles, and asked the transport department to take necessary action.
