NEW DELHI: All taxi operators in Delhi including cab aggregator companies like Ola and Uber have been directed by the Supreme Court-appointed Environmental Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority on November 22, 2018 to submit an affidavit on their diesel taxis plying on the roads of Delhi-NCR and submit the actual number of diesel taxis operating within the region. The body said it may impound vehicles violating the norms.
Bhure Lal, EPCA chairman warned that diesel taxis will be penalised for plying in the capital. “No diesel taxis will have alighting or boarding point in NCR. If any are found to be operating without them being disclosed, they will straight away be impounded and their licences be cancelled. According to our estimate, almost 70,000 diesel based taxis are still operating in Delhi NCR which is a big number, “We will check how many diesel cabs are operating under them.” EPCA chairman said.
EPCA said that they have received reports of a large number of diesel commercial taxis plying within the NCR despite the SC order of 2016, which had banned their operation in the region.
