Owners whose vehicles are more than 15 years old will have to shell out eight times more money to renew their registration, according to a notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways and which will come into force with effect from April 1, 2022, as the Centre prepares ground to phase out old/polluting vehicles in line with the national vehicle scrappage policy.
Well, the Centre after harassing the already over-burdened aam-aadmi by continuously raising the prices of petrol, diesel, gas cylinders since the start of the pandemic now seems to be hell bent on forcing them to abandon their old vehicles and to buy some expensive new vehicles by mischievously hiking the registration fees of old vehicles in the name of dealing with air pollution.
Hey, why doesn’t the same government bring out a similar scrappage policy to phase out all the politicians who are above 60 years of age or have already completed 15 years in politics and make them to compulsorily retire on the lines of government employees for the betterment of our country's future?
