No scrap center failed policy of Govt

Vinita is super right. Scrap centers are defunct cars cannot be used.

Govt cannot manage pollution so people who bought cars paid registration for 15 years must surrender them in 10 years and when they are ready to do so there are no takers so they lose registration cost for 5 years and then get their money tied up in an usable asset because there are no scrap centers.

LC must take this up. Members who have old cars or cars about to be turning 10 must show active interest and activate things more

NGT and MoRTH and useless vehicle scrappage rules

The rules made by NGT and Ministry of Road transport need to be challenged in the supreme court because they are banning vehicles above certain age from Plying asking they be scrapped. When vehicle owners who paid 15 years of registration fee put their hand on heart and make difficult decision of taking the hit and buying a new vehicle with some small incentives and try to find a scrapping center, there is none. See attached. We need ngt and morth challenged in the supreme court. 1.25 lakh vehicle owners are struggling as they cant scrap and get the incentives to buy a new vehicle. Because of black listing they cant even sell their vehicle. Policy and rule making at its worst.

Mine - petrol version, turning 15, running fine absolutely, but must scrap because the rich purchased so many cars dieselising transportation beyond the sustainable levels, causing atmospheric pollution! Is that fair? Poor, as a result, who must breathe clean air too, bearing the consequences, contracting asthma, i.e. medical poverty. Please factor everyone's concerns. Rich automobile manufacturers cashed into their revolutionary product sales. Whither, corporate social responsibility! more

Ultimately, a calibrated Graded Response Action Plan needed, balancing travelling need with such increasing personal vehicular usafe causing increased environmental load. How about used edible oils recycling, as after transesterification their blends produce bio-diesel, a much cleaner diesel. After all the crux here banning vehicles above a certain age being them causing pollution. Fuel change alongwith engine modification could allow the cars running longer, making their ownership more economical. more

This rule is not national. I drive a car which is more than 20 years old and motorbike which is more than 21 years old. Got their registration renewed last year and driving without a hassle. Let us not make LC a forum to blame government for everything. Maybe better understanding and inputs for policy making should be our strategy more
