Today, On 17th December, Delhi High Court slammed the government over poor regulation of used vehicle sales and transfers. Warning of grave security risks, the court asked, “Will you take a call when two, three more bomb blasts take place?”
The Supreme Court ruled that vehicles sold before April 1, 2019, must also display colour-coded stickers. This decision aims to improve the identification of older vehicles based on their emission levels. The directive is part of efforts to curb pollution and ensure better compliance with environmental standards. The move is expected to help authorities monitor vehicle emissions more effectively.
The Supreme Court is deliberating on mandating colour-coded stickers for vehicles to improve air quality monitoring and compliance. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S. Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan questioned the implementation of stringent GRAP-4 (Graded Response Action Plan) measures amid worsening AQI levels in Delhi. The court is examining how such measures can curb pollution effectively. Rising air pollution remains a critical concern for the capital city.
