The additional commissioner of police has written to the DCPs and ACPs, stating, "To ensure parity of the measures undertaken by various enforcement agencies within Delhi, the guidelines and other relevant orders issued by the transport department will be adopted by traffic police, as far as expedient."
The ELVs identified in a particular traffic circle will be handed over to the registered vehicle scrapping facility, designated by the transport department for the circle on the date of seizure. The officer competent to order the release of the vehicles will be the ACP of the circle concerned. "All DCPs, traffic police, shall ensure effective measures to comply with the directions of court in letter and spirit to reduce the levels of pollution in Delhi," it read.
Delhi govt recently resumed its crackdown on the overage vehicles, which was put on hold in Aug last year after Delhi High Court ordered it to develop a policy to address what was to be done with such vehicles.
Delhi govt's fresh guidelines for handling ELVs found in public places stipulate a penalty of INR 10,000 to be paid by the owners of four-wheelers and INR 5,000 for two-wheelers before the release of the vehicles.
