The State Transport Authority (STA), U.T., Chandigarh has initiated a citywide enforcement campaign against the illegal and pollution causing vehicles, especially diesel auto-rickshaws that had been plying in the city. This drive had been initiated in the entire city to take a firm step towards creating a pollution free environment in the city, keeping in mind the larger public health concerns of the residents.

As per the latest data submitted by the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC), there has been a significant decline in the various pollutants including SPM, RSPM, SO2, and NOx in various places of Chandigarh being monitored by CPCC over the past two weeks, ever since the drive was started by the State Transport Authority.

Meanwhile, to facilitate passenger movement, Chandigarh Administration is also strengthening its public transport system, by increasing the number & frequency of buses of the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) and also enhancing their routes.

In view of this recent anti-pollution campaign of the State Transport Authority, Chandigarh Administration hereby invites citizens of Chandigarh to tell us what is their opinion about the banning of illegal and pollution causing diesel auto-rickshaws in Chandigarh. Further, suggestions/ideas are invited from the residents to help us ensure that a clean and pollution free air is provided in the City Beautiful.

It should be controlled by per person car limit. Secondly, Scenario in Delhi will be same after one year because every body will owned even number and odd number car. It will not reduce the pollution but defiantly unfavourable current accounts because of unnecessary purchasing of second car .If a person owned a even no. licence plate second one should be again even no.otherwise it will use on alternate days. A family should have all a even or odd no. cars only than only pollution will control.

1. Directly banning vehicles is not always a good idea. Instead incentives can be given for exhange or migration to less polluting vehicles. 2. Levy vehicel area tax, 2nd vehicle tax, night entry tax, busy hour plying tax, parking cess, Swachh Bharat Cess. 3. Mandatory fitness test, catalytic converter, phase out old vehicles. 4. But mostly public transport. #CampaignAgainstPollution

pollution is mainly occurring due to the vehicles and factories which burn things. It must be a rule to place air filters on factories so that at-least 40 % of pollutants decrease. We have to work on some filtering process for vehicles. especially diesel vehicles.

All pollution check certificates that have expired to be called and vehicle owners to be incentivized to get it done. Car companies to make the calls to the owners and incentivize them with a free car wash etc or government can make the call #CampaignAgainstPollution #CTU #CPCC #MyGov

Install dustbins in public places that incentivize usage. People dumping in the dustbins get free song downloaded on phone ... phone scan or email id can b punched or scan their adhaar or valid I card and get Clean Points. These points can be redeemed for some benefits.#CampaignAgainstPollution #CPCC #MyGov #CTU

2/2) Traffic police also monitors the situations on highway and city roads with regular patrolling and catch the violators immediately. Nobody can avoid the fines as information of every citizen or immigrant is on digital records with police, which they can find through licence or vehicle number. Apart from catching the polluting vehicles in Chandigarh, gov. should try to resolve the situation by updating infrastructure and support system throughout the country to avoid traffic congestions.
