Haryana bans old diesel and petrol vehicles in NCR

Banning vehicles, mostly diesel variants, seems to be a trend in India. After Delhi, Kerala and Chhattisgarh, the Haryana government has now banned 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles from plying on roads in NCR.

State transport minister Krishan Lal Panwar said on Thursday that the ban would apply to the vehicles registered in cities falling under the territorial jurisdiction of National Capital Region (NCR), such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjar.
