NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response on the feasibility of having all information about motor vehicles on a single platform for swift electronic surveillance of traffic violations and data integration of over-aged, uninsured and polluting vehicles.

In an order passed on Tuesday, a bench headed by Justice Abhay S Oka noted that the data on vehicle registration, insurance status, pollution compliance and speed limiting devices is fragmented and available on multiple platforms that are not interlinked, and sought to know if this could be remedied.
