The government has taken a big decision to control the increasing pollution in Delhi. Under this decision, now the vehicles which do not have pollution certificate will not be given petrol and diesel from Thursday (December 18). In such a situation, people have many questions in their minds. But first of all it is important to understand that PUC certificate is a mandatory and important document of the vehicle. This indicates that your vehicle is not emitting more pollution than the prescribed limit.
Driving a vehicle without a valid PUC is a legal offense and a challan can be issued for this. In this, an important question arises that how the roadside policemen or traffic police can identify from a distance whether the vehicle has a pollution certificate or not. Actually the answer is some special techniques and methods.
car smoke
The first way of this is the smoke coming out of the vehicle. If excessive black or blue smoke is seen coming out from the silencer of a car or bike, then it is a clear indication that the engine is not working properly and it is possible that the PUC certificate is not valid or has not been updated on time. In such a situation, your vehicle immediately comes in the sight of the police, and they issue you a challan.
vehicle condition
Another way is the condition and sound of the vehicle. Too noisy engines, broken silencers or old vehicles often cause more pollution. Police know from experience that such vehicles are less likely to have PUC, so they are stopped for checking.
Digital System and Number Plate Scanning
The third method is digital system and number plate scanning. Nowadays, traffic police in many cities have handheld devices, cameras and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) systems. As soon as the vehicle number is scanned, the police gets immediate information on the mobile or tablet whether the PUC of that vehicle is valid or expired. Many times the police stand in the bushes or on the roadside so that the driver is not alert and the investigation can be done easily. The government itself has now said that people’s vehicles will now be monitored with cameras so that they can know whether their vehicle has a PSU certificate or not.
checking drive
The fourth method is checking drive and targeted action is taken. That is, on special days, such as when pollution increases or on the instructions of the government, the police run special campaigns and in such cases, special attention is kept on old vehicles, diesel vehicles or vehicles emitting a lot of smoke.
PUC sticker
Many times the PUC sticker on the glass of the vehicle is also visible from a distance. If the sticker is old or the date is clearly visible on it and it seems expired, then the police can stop the vehicle. From this it is clear that now without a PUS certificate, your vehicle can come in the sight of the police at any time, even if you are at a great distance from them. Because on the basis of technology and rules this identification becomes very easy. Therefore, it is better that the driver gets the PUC certificate made on time, keeps the vehicle serviced and always keeps all the necessary documents with him, otherwise the police will not take much time to issue your challan.
