Pollution certificate must for vehicles to enter transport office

JAIPUR: Any vehicle, even with a public representative or a bureaucrat in it, entering the transport offices including the regional transport office (RTO) or district transport office (DTO) across the state, without a 'pollution under control' certificate won't be given an entry. This is the latest order issued by the transport department on Monday, in a bid to curb air pollution.

The transport department has already taken a lead in curbing the menace of air pollution with the Rajasthan government having announced to ban all diesel-run commercial vehicles that are eight or more years old in a phased manner.

Adding more to the initiatives, the transport commissioner, Gayatri Rathore, on Monday directed its regional transport officers (RTOs) and district transport officers (DTOs) to ensure that entry should not be given to the vehicles not having 'pollution under control' certificate.

"I think when we are expecting from people to abide by some rules and regulations to curb air pollution, we should also follow some rules. I have directed my officers that no government or private vehicle not having a 'pollution under control' certificate should be allowed entry at RTO and DTO offices across the state. If such vehicles without this certificate are found, they should be penalized as per the norms," said Rathore while talking to TOI on Monday.

She added that this is just the beginning as the transport department will launch a massive campaign to check air pollution of vehicles. TNN

"This is just the beginning, as in the later course we will follow it in other departments including the state secretariat. I have also urged my teams to ensure compulsory penalty of the vehicle irrespective of the officer or public representative boarded in it," she added.
