The government has issued a direction asking all the city’s car and motorbike dealers to install pollution checking centres at their workshops,” said a senior government official. ‘The government wants to ensure that when motorists go to automobile workshops to service their vehicles, they can also get a check done there of the emission level,’ the official said. Dealers of e-rickshaws are exempt from the directive as the official said that such vehicles cause almost no pollution.” Press Trust of India. Read it on delhiair.org.
