Last Updated: Delhi began enforcing a ban on refueling petrol vehicles over 15 years old and diesel vehicles over 10 years old, impounding at least 16 on the first day. The Delhi Police on Tuesday impounded 16 vehicles as the ban on supply of fuel to old vehicles kicked off in Delhi. The drive began from 6 am, enforcing the prohibition of fuel sale to petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years. A 2018 Supreme Court judgment had banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi. A 2014 National Green Tribunal order also prohibited the parking of vehicles aged over 15 years in public places. Announcements were being made at petrol pumps that fuel would not be supplied to older vehicles, and subsequently, such vehicles were being impounded. For the drive, the Delhi government has also installed Automatic Number Plate reader cameras (ANPR) at nearly 350 petrol pumps across the national capital for detection of such vehicles. The transport department has chalked out a detailed deployment plan involving personnel from its organisation, Delhi Police, Traffic Police and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Multiple teams of the transport department, traffic police and local police have been deployed at different petrol pumps in South Delhi. According to PTI, the Transport Enforcement and Delhi Traffic Police teams were seen stationed at a petrol pump in Chirag Dilli since early morning. Assistant Sub-Inspector Jagan Lal of Delhi Traffic Police told PTI that they are verifying vehicle details using their central database. 'The cameras will inform automatically, but our teams are also checking vehicles using our central database. The drive is being carried out jointly with local police and transport officials to ensure full compliance and to maintain law and order," said ASI Jagan Lal. Hriday Ram, a staff member at the Dhingra petrol pump, said, 'We have been instructed not to fill fuel in any old vehicle. The moment such a vehicle is detected by the camera or by us, we alert the police or enforcement team immediately." The move is part of the Delhi government's effort to tackle air pollution.
