Delhi news: The Transport Department of Delhi has canceled the registration of more than 54 lakh vehicles which have crossed the period of operation till March 27.

According to the department, the vehicles whose registration has been canceled include some vehicles which were registered in the years 1900 and 1901. The Supreme Court had banned 10 year old diesel and 15 year old petrol vehicles in Delhi in the year 2018. There were 79.18 lakh vehicles registered on the roads of Delhi in 2021-22.
This decision has been taken by the Indian government that the vehicles which are out of date, and pollute, want to discontinue them. The aim of this initiative is to reduce pollution and maintain a clean environment for the people of the country. The decision has probably been taken due to the implementation of transparency norms for older vehicles and newer and more stringent pollution control regulations. This will reduce traffic at places, help citizens focus on purchasing new vehicles and help reduce pollution.
Supreme Court ban on 10-15 year old vehicles
In the year 2018, the Supreme Court had banned diesel and petrol vehicles which were 10 years and 15 years old respectively in Delhi.

This decision is an important step in pollution control, which can prevent climate change due to the use of old and junk vehicles.
