Delhi ramps up crackdown on overage vehicles at fuel stations
New Delhi: Banners flapped, loudspeakers announced numbers, squads in uniform watched closely, and cameras quietly scanned number plates — even before people stepped out of their cars. On Tuesday, as teams began enforcing the restrictions on fuel distribution to outdated vehicles, the scene played out like clockwork at several stations. The vehicles rolled in and the cameras instantly read the plate, just as challan cameras do, and if it was a 10-year-old diesel or a 15-year-old petrol car, a voice from the speaker immediately flagged it. The fuel staff gently refused petrol, and within moments, traffic police, transport department officials, and local cops approached, ask for RC, and if the vehicle was indeed overdue, impounded it. The mood at the pumps was part tense, part curious, and in places, dramatic. For instance, at a fuel station next to Lodhi Hotel in south Delhi, a car belonging to another state's police department was impounded after being flagged. "It was a smooth process," said traffic inspector Sanjeev Kumar. "The minute the car was read, we asked for the RCs and found it overage. The scrapper was called and the vehicle will now be sent to the yard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scalable retail: Video analytics firm enables more traffic thanks to robust computing power - Google Cloud: Future of Infrastructure CIO | Google Cloud, AMD Undo " You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A similar scene played out in Tughlaq Road Circle, where a car belonging to army personnel heading out of Delhi was impounded while refuelling. This car was also from another state. Officials said if the owners request to take them back out of Delhi, standard procedure will be followed. Two-wheelers weren't far behind. At the Lodhi Hotel station, Jaiveer and Fukran watched helplessly as their bikes were taken away. "This was all I had," Jaiveer said, his voice cracking. "I bought it second-hand in April for Rs 15,000. I sell kulcha-chole on a thela — how am I supposed to drag that around now? I didn't even know this was a rule. They should've given us some time." Fukran, whose bike carried a UP plate, added, "In my town, I got a five-year extension. I had no clue Delhi had a separate law. But what can one do now?" While many saw action from the get-go, some pumps witnessed only a trickle of flagged vehicles. At a few stations, enforcement setups weren't fully functional — in some, cameras worked but speakers did not. Alka Sahni, owner of Bharat Petroleum pump at Connaught Place, highlighted the absence of a speaker system to announce incoming vehicles exceeding the age limit. "I visited another pump to see how they operate under the new guidelines. At this station, the speaker is yet to be installed. Although the ANPR camera is in place, it's too technical for the workers to operate. I have complained thrice to Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation. They have promised they will install the speaker soon," she said. At the National Service Station in Connaught Place, where all equipment, including ANPR cameras, a speaker and informational banners, was installed, supervisor Mukesh Singh pointed out the absence of police personnel. "An officer visited but left within five minutes. Even though no banned vehicles have been recorded yet, police presence should be maintained," he said. At others, especially those outside the official list of 400 monitored stations, there were no checks at all. Vehicles — expired or not — continued to refuel as usual. At several pumps, enforcement teams had a dull day as no overaged vehicle appeared. At a pump in Ashram, a 15-year-old Mercedes was seized, along with several two-wheelers. Enforcement teams at pumps like Ghazipur border and Mayur Vihar did not report any violations. Jai Veer, head constable, transport enforcement, deployed at Ghazipur pump, said, "I think people with overaged cars are avoiding visiting pumps." Nischal Singhnaia, president, Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association, said, "Limited vehicles have been detected, and we have noted speakers were not present at some pumps. There are also concerns about camera placement. At my pump's location, a car travelling on the service road was incorrectly flagged as exceeding the speed limit."

Sheel Verma: Playing two different roles in same show has been fun
Sheel Verma is playing a double role in Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain. He plays Jaiveer and Bablu. Jaiveer is royal and focused. Bablu is a thief with a good heart. TV actor Sheel Verma , who currently plays Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, talks about playing a double role in the show. Transitioning from the intense and brooding Jaiveer to the light-hearted and quirky Bablu. While the actor had been portraying Jaiveer since the show's inception, the latest track introduces Bablu — a street-smart thief with a heart of gold. He says, 'My role of Jaiveer is quite royal, he is a gentleman and very focused. But now Bablu is a complete contrast, he is funny, a follower of Lord Hanuman. Bablu, though a thief by profession (a trade he learned from his mother), is driven by kindness. He can't see anyone sad. He's a mumma's boy, good at heart and always ready with a witty one-liner.' The actor revealed that for now, Jaiveer's track has been put on hold, with Bablu stepping into the narrative. 'Even I don't know what the future holds. The show is full of suspense. For now, the family thinks Jaiveer is dead. Rest it depends on the audience and their reaction upon bablu,' he explained. When asked if playing two characters is a challenge, he said, 'Not at all. An actor is always up for new roles. Playing two different roles in the same show has been fun. Bablu brings a new energy, and I'm enjoying it — no stress like Jaiveer, who was dealing with heartbreak.' He has been part of projects like Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey, Le Chalu Apan Duari, Shree Ramayan Katha and Meri Maa Karma.

Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain's Sheel Verma Love For Mumbai Rains Is All Of Us
Last Updated: As the city of dreams recently witnessed a spell of rainfall, actor Sheel Verma revealed what he loves about Mumbai rains. The arrival of rain adds a unique appeal to Mumbai. It turns the city into a lush, vibrant landscape, with the refreshing rains wiping away the heat and dust and revealing a different aspect of its beauty. As the city of dreams recently witnessed a spell of rainfall, the cool breeze and the scent of wet earth brought instant relief to many residents, including actor Sheel Verma, known for playing Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain. Expressing his love for this season, Sheel said, 'I enjoy rains and the earthy fragrance that comes after the first rainfall; it's something I always look forward to. Yesterday, on my way home from a shoot, it began to rain, so I took a longer route with my favourite music playing in the car," as quoted by Filmibeat. He added, 'In the morning, the sun was back, so I had no expectations. But, surprisingly, it started raining again – and it's times like this when I happily ignore my diet. I got myself a nice cup of tea and ordered some samosas – the ideal way to enjoy the beautiful weather. As they say in the film Wake Up Sid, 'Mumbai rains are absolutely to die for' – and I couldn't agree more." On the work front, Sheel is currently winning hearts with his performance as Jaiveer. In the television series, his character often gets duped by Chamkili (played by Ishita Ganguly), while his wife Chaina (played by Diksha Dhami) acts as his keeper, shielding him and his family from danger. Previously, speaking about being a part of the show, Sheel said, 'This is my first time playing the lead in a television show. So far, I'm really liking it. I've worked in films before, but having a major role on television is unique and fascinating." 'Jaiveer, the character I play in the show, is someone with whom I have a personal connection, and I am thoroughly enjoying portraying him. Jaiveer is a vibrant, cheery person, yet his rough background has left him short-tempered. This contrast makes the character accessible to me," he added, as quoted by ETimesTV. The show airs from Monday to Saturday at 9 pm on Shemaroo Umang. First Published:
