The Delhi Transport Corporation has impounded 2,234 overage vehicles between October 1 and November 15, as part of an ongoing drive, PTI reported.
The initiative that was launched the previous month, aims to tackle the worsening air quality in Delhi. As per the official data, the seized vehicles include 260 diesel four wheelers that are more than ten years old, 1,156 petrol two wheelers, and 818 petrol three and four wheelers, older than 15 years, PTI noted.
The campaign, slated to continue till December, is part of a larger narrative to enforce environmental regulations and curb emissions.
In tandem with the crackdown, the Transport Department has rolled out an online portal to facilitate scrapping, retrieval or sale of seized vehicles, PTI noted.
The platform is designed to streamline the process, offering owners with a clear SOP for managing vehicles, PTI noted.
