Besides noise
pollution, which has become a major problem on Indian roads,
there is an eternal problem of emission which not only
creates unsavory conditions for the drivers on road, but
also detrimental to the atmosphere.
Vehicles should be kept in a good condition
and drivers should be careful to ensure that
their vehicles do not emit smoke, visible
vapors, sparks, ashes or oily substances.
From the time a car completes one year, a
PUC (Pollution Under Control) check has to
be undertaken every six months by all car
owners. This can be done at several agencies
authorized by the State Government. It is
obligatory to carry the PUC certificate (in
original) while driving. The punishment for
a pollution related offence is a fine of
Rs.1000.
Smoke emitted by vehicles is the main cause
of pollution - it causes several diseases
such as bronchitis, asthma etc.
