to create awareness about pollution under control ( PUC)
Answers
Pollution under control (PUC) is a certification mark that is issued to certify if the motor vehicles in India meet the pollution and emission control norms, under Section 2 (28) of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
The PUC certificate comes at a price after testing the vehicles and is valid for up to 6 months.
Awareness about a mandatory PUC certificate can be created in the public by organizing centers’ and campaigns with the help from various government departments like Department of Transport, Department of Environment and Food & Supply along with the Traffic Police so that vehicular pollution can be mitigated.
Also, infrastructure regarding issuing of PUC certificate should be expanded and upgraded.
Spreading the awareness by news articles in the newspapers is the best as newspapers reach out to almost every household.
Also, it would be easier for the individuals to apply for a mandatory PUC certificate at fuel-filling stations so that they can avoid the hassles of going to a government office to complete the formalities.
