  "account": "The Supreme Court has proposed a plan to prevent uninsured vehicles from getting fuel at petrol pumps. This comes after recognizing that nearly 56 percent of vehicles in India remain uninsured. The court aims to streamline the process of buying or renewing motor insurance and improve compensation for accident victims. Vehicle owners can obtain insurance through dealerships, insurance companies' websites, mobile apps, or online comparison platforms. Renewals can be done online or at the insurer's office or authorised agents. Mandatory third-party insurance and comprehensive policies with add-ons are available, with premiums dependent on vehicle type, location, claim history, and chosen covers. Insurance lapses can be remedied by purchasing a new policy, and driving uninsured vehicles can result in penalties. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and IRDAI are considering linking fuel supply to a vehicle's insurance status. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and handheld devices are to be used for verifying insurance status on the spot.",
  "summary": "In response to a high rate of uninsured vehicles, the Supreme Court on Tuesday proposed a pilot project to deny fuel access to uninsured vehicles.",
