Hey dude....

NEW DELHI: Out of the city's over 60 lakh vehicles, barely 3 lakh a dismal 5 per cent get population under control (PUC) checks done, according to the transport department. And even in cases where tests are carried out, they prove completely ineffective.
Records of the transport department reveal that there are 60.84 lakh vehicles registered in Delhi till June this year. But on an average, just about 3 lakh get their PUC tests carried out, of which even fewer are regular. This, despite it being mandatory for every vehicle running on Delhi roads to have a pollution test once every three months from a registered testing centre.

Experts say the current emission norms are appropriate only for very old vehicles and not for those running on post Euro-II norms. This becomes a greater cause of worry since even as Delhi is all set to switch to Euro-IV norms by next April no body seems to be thinking about revision of standards. "The last revision of PUC norms was done in 2004 when testing centres were upgraded to include the lambda test. Now, the test reports are only used for generation of data. It is not enforced to pass or fail a vehicle,'' said Anumita Roychoudhury, director, Centre for Science and Environment's Right to Clean Air Campaign.


The other major problem is that emission standards for diesel vehicles have not been revised since 1991. Randomly selected PUC data from the city's testing centres shows that the current smoke density limit is too high for modern diesel engines. With a rising number of new diesel car variants, there is an urgent need for adoption of advanced testing procedures for diesel vehicles.

Changes also need to be made in the testing procedures to include annual fitness and road worthiness tests for private vehicles, regular audits of PUC test centres, mechanism to ensure that tests are reliable and setting up of large testing centres to handle the volume of cars.

One of the few initiatives undertaken so far the transport department's ambitious attempt at streamlining the PUC system has also run into delays as there were glitches in the process of interconnecting the database. The scheme, which would ensure better enforcement of the pollution testing system by penalizing offenders, will take another month to become operational. And till then, lakhs of vehicles will spew pollution on Delhi roads as a majority of vehicle owners don't get the test done in time.

The transport department, meanwhile, is still figuring out the changes that need to be made with the change in emission norms next year.

As per the law, all vehicles plying in the city are required to carry a valid PUC certificate after one year from the date of first registration. Thereafter, the certificate is renewed every three months after a check from a certified PUC centre. Any vehicle found without a valid certificate is liable to be prosecuted under Section 190 (2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, under which there is a fine of Rs 1000 for the first offence and Rs 2000 for every subsequent violation.
