The Punjab government has announced that, as part of its anti-smog initiative, all public and private vehicles in the province will undergo mandatory inspections. A new notification has been issued, requiring all vehicles to obtain a fitness certificate.
Under this new rule, small and large vehicles must receive certification from the relevant fitness authority. The move aims to ensure that vehicles comply with environmental and safety standards, helping to reduce pollution and improve air quality across the region.
The notification also applies to vehicles used by various government ministries and departments. These entities have been instructed to secure fitness certificates for all vehicles in their fleets.
To ensure compliance, the government has set a firm deadline of January 30 for obtaining these certificates. Ministries and departments have been advised to ensure that their vehicles are inspected and certified by this date, making it an urgent priority for both public and private sectors to meet the new requirements.
Numerous the laws corrupt the state. They are just going to collect money and make even more money through bribes like it is done for Commercial vehicles.
Instead they should be asking refineries to upgrade to Euro 6 standards for Fuel,
Ask Motorcycles, heavy transport vehicles manufacturers to adopt Euro 5 or 6 instead of Euro 2 standards being used..
This is just a way to make more money since people got rid of grid electricity.
