People having their vehicles registered in states other than Delhi are facing difficulty in obtaining a Pollution under Control (PUC) certificate from the Delhi government because its database isn't updated or is “malfunctioning. People are being compelled to go to nearby states such as Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to obtain their PUC certificates. The new rule has generated consternation among car owners in Delhi. Several cars registered in neighbouring states, including Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh, are being turned away from petrol pumps on Pusa Road since their vehicles are not registered in the PUC database.
In order to get a better understanding of the situation on the ground, The Sunday Guardian visited a number of petrol pumps in the city. The correspondent found out that pollution control centres at various petrol stations were well aware of their responsibilities and cooperative in providing information about the new regulation, collecting vehicle information and assisting owners in getting pollution certificates.
