The Punjab government has approved a significant measure to address the issue of old and unfit vehicles across the province. The new ordinance allows these vehicles to be officially scrapped under a designated system. Vehicles with cancelled or withdrawn registrations will be considered unfit, as will those lacking a fitness or emissions certificate.
Vehicles destroyed in accidents, fires, or natural disasters may also be declared scrap. Owners are encouraged to voluntarily submit their unfit vehicles for scrapping, which will be transported to designated centers in both public and private sectors. Usable parts will be removed, and the remaining material will be recycled. This new system introduces a comprehensive approach to scrapping old and polluting vehicles in Punjab.
The government will draft detailed rules for the process, with the Punjab governor approving the third amendment to the Motor Vehicles Ordinance. The new law will take effect immediately. The primary objective of this system is to reduce smoke pollution and promote a cleaner environment.
