INTRODUCTION
As it is a fact that India is a developing economy with more than 70% of
the youth population, and due to rapid urbanisation more people are
migrating to cities as a result the cities are overcrowded population,
since vehicles are essential for transport/ mobility, the vehicles
population is also proportionally rising, and it is a fact that there is very
poor ratio of road density to the vehicle population, as a result the
average speed of the vehicles on the city roads is drastically get reduced,
also since every day hundreds of vehicles are getting added to the
already choked city traffic vehicle density, further causing excess level of
emissions, added to it most of the vehicles are poor maintained/ ill
maintained, no change of lubricating oils, filters etc as a rest there is
drastic reduction in mileage which means more emissions, in addition
most of the people who are driving the vehicles either drivers or owners
are un professional trained drivers, who learned driving informally, not in
the vehicle driving schools, Lakhs skills in driving (he number of
accidents, accidental deaths will itself evident that majority of drivers
lack even though they got formal driving licence from government),
resulting in causing of high fuel consumption leading to heavy pollution,
also another major factor is adulterated fuel, adulterated lubricants
causing more emissions making the environment in cities more worst,
also due to poor quality of roads in cities leading to slow traffic/traffic
jams and more emissions; added to this is no public awareness and
public responsibility for the society to reduce the emissions, as a result
most of the cites in INDIA are having several folds excess levels of air
pollution harming the health of every citizens in many ways, due to low
sully of oxygen to the body due to choked/ shrinked lung capacity,
especially the children and young working age people and elderly people
resulting in heavy medical expenses in addition to causing loss of lifes, if
the same trend is continued for few more years without doing the course
correction in the system making every one act responsibility in the larger
interest of overall health of people of the country, economy of the
country, India world become multiple health discords capital of the world
or death capital of world and also the development will be drastically
decline due to loss of potential percentage of working age group people,
as such it is necessary to take drastic steps to reduce vehicular pollution
that yield the desired results through fixing the root cause of the
pollution.
This document provides solutions to the issues which yield the desired
positive sustainable results in the need of the hour measures in the
larger interest, the spirit of solutions on sincere implementation yield
sustained positive results not only in India but in all other countries.

NEED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ALTERNATIVE DAY EVEN NO,

ODD NO VEHICLES TO REDUCE VEHICLE POLLUTION
It is a fact that most of the cities, especially the capital cities the quality
of air is very poor due to heavy emissions from vehicles, and the
situation is such that the maximum permissible limits of pollutants
crossed several fold causing several health discords to millions of people,
especially the infants, the school going children, pregnant women, elderly
people and also to the youth.
In order to improve the air quality the first step is to reduce the vehicles
emission by curtailing the vehicle movement, the alternative day even
number odd number movement of vehicles in city roads on stricter
implementation will certainly reduce the pollution levels at least 30 to
40%, which means air quality will improve by 30 to 40 % (as some
exemptions, leakages etc will lead only 70 to 80 % of vehicles expected
to follow the alternative day traffic system); even if such percentage of
reduction is a great thing, help in improving the health of millions of
people, even though it may cause severe inconvenience to people in the
beginning, but due to various other measures aiming at improving the
mobility of the people will certainly ensure that people s mobility
inconvenient minimized to a great extent, and as compared to the
improvement of health of millions of people, the minor inconvenience if
at all should not be an issue to public. And for the effective
implementation, the public support is needed, and also to ensure every
section of people in the society follow the norms in the larger interest of
people of the territory, the government has to formulate the guidelines
and ensure stricter implementation again in the larger interest of people.
The following measure will certainly make the implementation of
alterative day even no, odd no vehicles mobility in a foolproof manner,
with bare minimum inconvenience covering all aspects, nullifying all the
apprehensions of common people.
1)

The first process is to educate people about the need for clean air,
how much the vehicle pollution is, how it is effecting people on
their health; for this rigorous advertisement, audio visual should be
displayed at public gathering every colony wise, ward wise
(Monhalla Sabha's), in addition door to door campaign like a
election campaign must be done, in addition to rigorous publicity in
television, radio and social media and also on mobiles.

2)

There should be a mobile APP to register volunteers for the

campaign, they should be trained in educating the people about the
need for containing pollution, how it can be contained, how the
common apprehensions of the people government is going to be
addressed in due course, with martial to distribute to the citizens
Page 5 of 49

and make them understand and cooperate with government, as

part of responsibilities of the citizens to reduce vehicular pollution
in the common good larger interest.
3)

Also it should be mandatory that awareness campaign must be

done in all educational institutions, all office establishments both
government and private, also in all RWA and societies and also in
all apartment associations.

4)

In order to ensure easy identification of vehicles in case of

alterative day Even No, odd Number system implementation,
Government must issue different colour bar coded stickers for even
no vehicles, odd number vehicles, exempted vehicles in appropriate
size to be displayed at 4 places on the vehicle, one in the left hand
top of front side glass, one in right hand top of back side glass, at
driver door for all right hand drive vehicles, one near to the the fuel
filling lid for ensuring clear identification of the even no, odd no
vehicles, and also vehicles which are exempted.

5)

Also government must provide online web check the details of

exempted vehicles with number, ownership details, so that in case
any people fraudulently use the doctored stickers then such
vehicles can be identified by simply web checking the details, either
through mobile APP or SMS or through call centre, any violations
can be brought to the notice of the RTA authorities. This measure
reduces fraudulent unauthorised use of exemption tickets. Also it
should be non bail able criminal offence to fraudulently use the
exemption colour code doctored bar coded stickers.

6)

The different colour bar coded stickers can be obtained by

submitting the details of the vehicle by the owner in the RTA
website through one time security code (pass word) sent to the
mobile number of the owner of the vehicle for ensuring authentic
persons only obtain the stickers; these stickers can be downloaded
and colour printed by individuals anywhere if they possess a colour
printer or in the internet centers.
This measure is the easiest way to ensure within a short period all
the vehicles get registered with the government RTA to obtain the
colour coding stickers. This measure also eliminates the rush, also
vehicle frauds; government must in coordination with the mobile
phone operators re verify the address of the owner mobile number
to ensure the owners are authentic/ future use, in case of fraud the
person can be brought to justice .In case vehicle owner do not
possess the mobile number or e mail id, should submit details in
person at the RTA in an affidavit form along with other proofs of
ownership of vehicle.
Page 6 of 49

7)

Also all the private commercial passenger transport vehicles such as

taxies, autos, must get separate bar code, separate colour sticker
with all days permit, this measure ensures non yellow plate
vehicles cannot get operated for commercial use un authorised/
illegally, all vehicles for commercial operations must get registered
with government, it should be mandatory that all the commercial
vehicles (passenger & goods) must be equipped with GPS system
whether it is Auto, Car or Bus or Lorry.

8)

All the doctors, police, emergency services like ambulances, fire

service, Military vehicles etc should be exempted from alternate
day even no odd no system, they should be provided with all day
permit with different colour bar coded sticker.

9)

Also for the individuals in medical emergencies for self or family

members should get one time exemption code through instant
permission to run vehicle on restricted days through SMS, or
mobile APP of RTA by mentioning the reason briefly, such instant
permit to use vehicle on restricted day has validity of 24 hours for
attending the hospitals. In case more medical need, the same can
be obtained by submitting proof of medical emergency; Ideal that
all the residents must visit the local doctor in the vicinity of the
residence.; Also temporary one time pass to run vehicles on
restricted day for attending medical emergencies of family
members by the immediate family members, also should get
permit to run the vehicles on restricted days, one /two times a
month, for this they should register with RTA the reason for
medical emergency with family relation.

10) Also all day exemption should be provided to people with

disabilities/ special needs, who can self drive their vehicle or use
driver, for these kind of people all day permit colour coded pass
with temporary validity can be downloaded by submitting the
details, till they provide the certification for disability/special needs
to get permanent all day permit pass.
11) Also retired people, people aged above 65 years, who are living
alone should get all day permit coupon along with the photograph
of the elderly people only for the personal use of the elderly people
self driving or with driver, in case found that the all day exemption
misused by the kin-kith of the elderly people, use the vehicles for
going to office or other places of entertainment without the elderly
people accompanied, such cases should attract heavy fine, along
with cancellation of the all day permit. Also it should be the
responsibility of the RWA and security to monitor and inform about
such misuse.

Page 7 of 49

12)

Also all families with pregnant women or with infants below one
year should get all day permit, also all patents getting treatment
for heart disease should get all day permission for the family is the
patent is living with the family in the same house.

13) All the embassy vehicles must be exempted from the even odd
number, all the ministers, in the govt, the security vehicles must
be permitted for all days.
14) Also it should be mandatory that all doctors must mandatorily get
their vehicles all day exemption pass by providing the details like
about their year of pass of the medical degree, from which medical
college, district, state, country, registration number in the IMA, if
no registration why not obtained till date, place of practice,
residence, contact numbers, along with vehicle details and obtain
the all day colour code bar coded stickers.
Doctors should get + sign colour code with bar coded sticker with
vehicle registration number along with Indian Medical Association
(IMA) Registration number on the sticker for authentication of
genuineness of the doctor degree, to eliminate fake doctors.
It should be criminal offence on the part of the doctor to use
personal vehicle without the exemption sticker, in case the same
vehicle used by the family members of the doctors then they
should get additional sticker, for even no, odd no. to use the
vehicle for other than doctor use.
This measure ensures elimination of fake doctors to a considerable
extent. In case Doctors uses other than doctor stickered vehicles,
the public can report to the government for verification of
authenticity of his/ her degree. Also it should be the duty and
responsibility of the IMA to provide details of doctors registered
with them who posses genuine medical degree in the website with
name, photograph, place of practice ward wise, RWA wise.
15)

All the government vehicles must get all day permit, and all the
government vehicles must be fitted with GPS and must have online
real time log details of trips from home to office, office to home for
officers, also in case if the vehicle goes out of the office, the
purpose of going out should be clearly recorded online before it
goes out of the office. This measure reduces to a great extent
misuse of government vehicle for personal purpose. Even if the
government hires private vehicles for the official use, those
vehicles also should be subjected to same conditions as
government owned vehicles of GPS, online real time log book.

Page 8 of 49

16)

Also government must ensure that all the employees of the

government are allocated houses to the shortest distance from the
place of work rather than choice place of stay.
Also government must provide bus service to all the government
employees, it should be mandatory on the part of the government
employees (other than who are eligible to have official government
vehicle) must use the mass mode transport like bus/ metro or use
bicycle/ electric vehicle for attending the office, only for official
work they can use the official vehicle; Also government must
provide concessional or free bus pass/ metro pass for all the
government employees valid only for attending the workplace and
to return home.

17) As far as the Non state registration vehicles running in the state or
crossing the state must get temporary permit for all days
movement (in the event of alternative day Even no, odd no.
measure implementation), for few days, for all those travellers,
tourists who uses personal vehicles (non commercial vehicles); this
measure ensures that tourist do not have any inconvenience.
In case the vehicle which are otherwise running from neighbouring
states come frequently to the other state on business / medical
work, they should be provided all day permit.
All people who own a non state registration number vehicle
because their place of living is bordering the other state (Example
UP Haryana), but place of work is in the state (Example Delhi), and
for work they travel every day in their vehicles, such vehicles
should be subjected to alternate day even no, odd no, vehicle
permit based on the registration number of the vehicle, over and
above they are subjected to cess/ penalty for travelling more than
15 km to attend the work place, causing environmental pollution in
case they are using a diesel vehicle, petrol vehicle.
All the commercial passenger vehicles with non state registration
who are plying in the state for more than week days must get
extension for one more week with penalty or get the current state
registration. This measure will certainly provide more revenues to
the state; also it provides security to the passengers.
18) All the CNG, Electric vehicles must get all day permission whether
state or non state even for personal vehicles or for commercial use.
19) Also all electronic media OB vans and crew carrying vehicles to
support OB activities must get all day permit.

Page 9 of 49

20) Also one time onward entry pass and one time return pass for all
vehicles going for maintenance to the vehicle repair/ maintenance
sheds once in a month to permit the vehicles to travel on the
restricted day in the specific route from home/ vehicle location to
the repair /maintenance centre.
21) Also all government officials going on emergency meetings out of
office hours must get one time pass on mobile for use of personal
vehicle on restricted days.
22) Automatic revoking of restrictions of alternative day even no, odd
no during natural calamities.
MEASURE TO ENSURE STRICT IMPLEMENTATION OF EMISSION
NORMS THROUGH CONTROLLING PARKING OF VEHICLES
23) In order to ensure strict implementation of the alternative day even
no, odd no, for ensuring periodic maintenance of the vehicles, for
ensuring periodic pollution check, Government must make parking
control stricter, as by and large almost all the vehicles has to park
their vehicles at some place or other like markets, office
establishments, bus/rail stations, air ports, entertainment centers
like malls, cinema halls , parks etc; through parking the violations
can be identified; for this it should be mandatory that all parking
slots should get bar coded reader machines, mobile phone bar code
reader, all parking slips must be bar coded; in order to reduce the
frauds of parking the vehicle owners should get parking slips
printed by themselves with limited validity online from the RTA by
submitting details of vehicle, periodic maintenance, periodic
pollution certification details (it is very need of the hour that
government make it mandatory that every vehicle must undergo
periodic maintenance, periodic pollution check); it is the duty of the
parking people to verify the number physically as well as read the
bar coded parking slip to permit the vehicle to enter the parking
lot. In case of paid parking areas they should obtain the printed
paid slips online by paying it online, or in any RTA office counter.
This eliminates parking frauds; in addition compel vehicle owners
to adhere to norms.
This measure should be applied to all parking places whether in the
commercial markets, free parking places, or in the office
establishments government or private. This measure will certainly
reduce use of vehicles on the restricted days of even no odd no
system.

Page 10 of 49

24) In order to ensure foolproof measures of the parking system, to

control vehicle emissions, All the Parking lots must be mandatorily
under High Resolution CC Cameras and the Parking bills must be
provided even in the free parking areas in the market yards and in
office establishments etc clearly mentioning the vehicle number.
25) Also public holiday on lottery system for the day in the markets/
commercial places i.e. some places Sunday holiday, some places
has Monday holiday, some places has Tuesday holiday etc on
lottery system. Every year, this measure reduces further traffic
congestion in section of the territory of the city/ district.
MEASURES TO IDENTIFY VIOLATIONS OF TRAFFIC RULES
26) It should be mandatory that all the vehicle owners must get register
their latest address, their latest mobile contact number, e mail ID,
social media IDs and alternate contact number of the parents,
guardians / children etc; non registering/ updating should attract
heavy penalty/ fine, also concealing/ wrong information should lead
to imprisonment. RWA and commercial vehicles associations must
also be involved to identify territory wise population of vehicles and
the contact details for further authenticity of details.
27) Also it should be the responsibility of the RWA, Commercial vehicles
association to identify the excess pollution emissions in case
vehicles emit, as vehicles has to start every day from the same
points, they should advise in writing to the concerned to rectify the
same, in addition inform RTA about this, else the RWA, Commercial
vehicles association of that territory also equally liable for penalty/
fine for wilful negligence/ connivance. This measure ensures that
vehicles with excess emissions will get repair/ rectify the same to
ensure the emission norms are as per standards.
28) There should be volunteers to register in the RTA for sending the
photographs, all the volunteers phone must be under GPS
surveillance, so that when they take photograph of the violation in
that local territory wise, even otherwise while moving out of their
designated territory they can send the photographs clicked from
mobile for violations
29) Also there should be a mobile app for providing photograph of the
vehicles violation of even number odd number violations or
polluting vehicles by volunteers or public.
30) Also government must install multiple high resolution CC cameras
at all the traffic signals to take the photographs/ slow motion
video of the vehicles from the front with clear focus on the front
Page 11 of 49

name plates and also installation of CC cameras 50 meters behind

the single with focus on number plates from rear end of the
vehicle; this measure will certainly fix the restricted day violations
clearly, all the traffic violations should be sent to RTA for record
and collection of the penalty fine levied.
31) It should be the responsibility of the RTA to collect the traffic
violation penalty/ fine from the vehicle owner in coordination with
Traffic Police by sending the challans/ fine bill delivered to the
home address, or mobile number of the owner of the vehicle, or
RWA/ commercial vehicles association in case non delivery, non
payment within stipulated time (15 days of violation). In case the
violators do not respond / pay within 30 days of violation, the
violation photographs should be displayed in the face book of the
RTA, Traffic police with reward for informing the address of the
violator; in such cases the fine collected should be 5 times the
actual fine, and the reward should be one time the fine, and the
informers identity should be kept secret. This measure certainly
reduces various types of traffic violations, and the traffic police
cannot ignore the violations either intentionally by taking bribes or
otherwise due to callousness;
Also for effective implementation, RTA must pay 50% of the
revenues obtained on account of traffic violations to the Traffic
police department, of which 10% of the amount of fine collected as
incentives to the traffic police welfare association. (after all traffic
police are exposed to severe pollution related health hazards); this
measure certainly yield the desired results, as the traffic police will
work more enthusiastically, also people will be cautious as
everything is digital photographed/ video graphed, date and time of
violation is recorded.
All the non state registration vehicles the traffic violation fine
should be collected on the spot, in order to ensure that the traffic
violators did not offer bribe, or traffic police take bribe for letting
them go after violation all the traffic police should be equipped with
wireless remote CC cameras on their chest to record the violation,
and conversation and collection of the fee, in addition all traffic
police must be provided with high end smart phones in CUG to
ensure they scan the documents of the vehicles which they stopped
for any traffic violation or for excess emission which will be
instantly go the central server of the RTA online real time;
Also all the fine collected is through online hand held wireless
billing machine, a print out of the challan should be issued, which
has a validity 24 hours, which will be online in the RTA, traffic
police network so that any other place within 24 hours the traffic
Page 12 of 49

police cannot levy fine for the violation other than traffic signal
jumping. This measure ensures that all the non state registration
traffic violators demand for a printed bill by paying the fine rather
than bribe and let run away.
In order to have better results all the installation of CC cameras,
maintenance and also surveillance/ monitoring of traffic violations
should be done by RTA or should be given to private organisations
with sharing of revenues of 5% for monitoring and catching the
traffic rules violators, this measure ensure drastic reduction of
traffic violations, better implementation of alternative day even no,
odd no vehicle system.
MEASURES TO REDUCE
ADULTERATION

POLLUTION

BY

CONTAINING

FUEL

It is a fact that adulterated fuels causes lot of pollution emissions, which

is an organised crime, which should be contained in order to improve the
air quality.
32) It is necessary that all the vehicles carrying the fuel from the oil
manufacturers refineries to retail fuel stations must be fully GPS
monitored, with electronic lock system, in addition fitted with
multiple CC cameras at the rear area and front area of vehicle to
record and provide real time movement of length and breadth of
the vehicle, even under the vehicle near the fuel inlet/outlet pipes,
with live & also recorded videos of the CC cameras of the vehicles
with several Tera bytes Hard disk records. This measure contain to
a great extent fuel pilferage, adulteration enroute, which is
otherwise, an organised mafia involving thousands of cores of
rupees.
In addition the Electronic lock opening key pass word must be
provided on reaching the fuel station after live video chat, GPS
confirmation. In addition there should be CC camera recoding of
the quantity and quality check before unloading at the fuel station,
and after unloading from the underground tank, must stored the
recordings for at least 30 days. This measure will certainly reduce
furl pilferage, fuel adulteration.
33) All fuel stations must have High resolution CC cameras surveillance
and real time web live telecast.
34) Also all data of fuel issued with quantities and details of vehicles
which used the fuel, should be recorded and submitted online real
time to the RTA, for this there should a bar coded reader machine
attached to the fuel dispensed machine; and all the vehicles visiting
Page 13 of 49

the fuel station for filling the fuel must be provided with (obtain)
bar coded slip
from the fuel station office to get the fuel
dispensed, on entering the vehicle registration number, quantity of
fuel in rupees or litres should be mentioned along with total
kilometres done. This measure ensures that total quantity of fuel
sold and the fuel at the underground fuel tank at fuel station
matches every time.
In addition to this all fuel stations must get equipped with
electronic automated tank gauging system to quantify exact
quantities of fuel, also since the High resolution CC cameras are
fitted the chances of adulteration will get reduced; to further
ensuring quality fuel delivered, every day before the first sale the
fuel stations must conduct in camera quality tests, quantity tests
which are placed on the website. These measures reduce fuel
adulteration at fuel stations to great extent.
35) It should be mandatory that all fuel stations must deliver fuel to
commercial vehicles through bank transaction only either through
bank card or through special money passes (like food passes). In
future all the fuel purchases for any vehicles commercial or
personal must be through bank transaction only. This measure
ensures all sale of fuel is genuine and chances of fuel adulteration
get marginalised.
36) Complete ban of sale of lose oil in the market either petrol, diesel or
lubricating engine oils; also complete ban on sale of engine oils to
the individuals, only registered vehicle service stations should
purchase the same through bank transaction only. Only at fuel
stations the engine oils can be permitted to purchase by the vehicle
owners/ user in limited quantity in emergencies under information
& permission from RTA ;
Also it should be mandatory that at the fuel station or at the
service station must conduct the quality tests for Viscosity etc for
engine oils/ lubricants in CC Camera before selling/ using it in the
vehicle to prevent sale/ use of adulterated engine oils. As it is a
fact adulterated engine oils are the biggest cause of the pollution in
the vehicles, especially the commercial and heavy vehicles where
large quantities of engine oils are used, and cash purchase making
them to do all adulteration, as such bank transactions along with
seal packs bar-coded, delivered from manufacturer, along with
quality tests in camera will certainly reduce the adulteration of
engine oils.
37) Mandatory maintenance of inventory of lubricants, engine oils etc
from the manufacturer to the distributor to the end user; all the
Page 14 of 49

service stations must collect the used lubricants, engine oil etc
while draining it from the engine during servicing under CC camera
and measured and stored for safe disposal, as it is a fact it causes
severe pollution to dispose it without treatment as Vehicles contain
many different fluids, including motor oil, air-conditioning
refrigerants, and brake, transmission, hydraulic and windshieldwiper fluids. Most of the fluids are toxic to humans and animals.
In the absence of this measure most of the adulterated engine oils
manufactured by un authorised micro units in the district uses the
drained engine oils obtained from vehicle service stations, filter
them and pack in sparking packs and sell it again to the small
service stations or to the vehicle owners through agents in the
market at lower rates, and for getting at cheaper rate, in order to
save few monies the vehicle owners are losing a lot, as the
adulterated engine oils reduces the vehicles life as it does not have
the viscosity for smooth functioning of the engine pistons and other
moving parts, also it will not cool the engine as a result more wear
and tear of engine, less combustion of fuel, and more emissions,
as such it should be mandatory for the service stations to drain the
engine oils under CC cameras and quantify the same with safe
disposal after treating them.
For better implementation of this measure it should be mandatory
that all service centers must provide daily online inventory of the
lubricants, fluids, oils purchased, used, collection of used fluids,
oils, to the RTA on real time and safe disposal. The RTA must
conduct surprise check for the inventory of oils on the registered
service centers; this measure ensures that quality oils which are
manufactured under government licence are utilised by the service
stations. The surprise cheques must be done 2% of the service
stations every month on random bases in addition to specific
information, also findings in the online monitoring of the activities
of the service stations.
ESTABLISHMENT OF AGENCY TO COLLECT THE USED FLUIDS
DRAINED FROM THE VEHICLES FROM SERVICE STATIONS FOR
SAFE DISPOSAL.
38) Also it should be mandatory to establish an agency to collect the
used fuels from the service stations in the lines of collection of bio
medical waste of hospitals to ensure safe disposal of these used
fluids as vehicle fluids are exposed to heat and oxygen when
engine is running, leading to chemical changes, in addition heavy
metals from engine wear and tear are also mixed with these fluids,
making them even more toxic to the environment. This measure

Page 15 of 49

also reduces the adulterated/ duplicate brands of lubricants, engine

oils to a gat extent.
MEASURES FOR ENSURING LOW EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLES
THROUGH MANDATORY PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
It is a fact that majority of the vehicles running on the roads, lacks
periodic maintenance, which is one of the primary reason for more
vehicular emissions, as such in order to contain vehicular emissions it
should be mandatory that all vehicles undergo periodic maintenance
39) Mandatory for the vehicle owners to get their vehicles serviced for
engine oil change, filters change, check for the health of the
exhaust silencer system functioning as per the standard
requirement of the type, make of vehicle/ as prescribed by the
manufacturer, and mandatorily inform the RTA authorities;
40) Also RTA should maintain a separate history sheet for all the
registered vehicles, which include the periodic servicing from
authorised service centers, the repairs and maintenance done, the
actual kilometres done periodically, any traffic violation challans/
fine bills, accidents etc
41) Also it should be mandatory that all the vehicle service centers
must get registered with government, s it is a fact that there are
numerous service centers operating without any formal training for
the mechanics/ technicians, also without authorisation from the
manufacturers of vehicles, are performing servicing, repair with
sun standard lubricants and sub standard spare parts, thus causing
severe pollution from such vehicles after short period of service/
repair, as such by making it mandatory registration, it will ensure
that all service stations maintain the quality standards and quality
serving and repaired is assured by and large.
Also it should be made mandatory on the service stations to inform
the government online real time about the vehicles when arrive for
service, and again inform the government RTA after completion of
service, maintenance, repair and provide a digital certification that
the vehicle is fully healthy with permissible emission limits; only
trained persons, approved by vehicle manufacturers should be
allowed as authorised service centers by the government (all
existing mechanics, technicians in un authorised service stations
must be provided skill up gradation and use their services) .
Also all vehicle service centers must be under CC cameras to
record the servicing activities on real time live to the RTA, also the
vehicle owners/ representatives should access the real time live
Page 16 of 49

video when their vehicle is undergoing service, repair to ensure

that service centers follow standards, ethical practices. This
measure will certainly fix the responsibility of the service stations;
also all the service stations must purchase the oils, spares from the
authorised spare part, engine oil manufacturers so that quality
periodic service is assured, which leads to reduction in emissions.
42) Also it should be mandatory that all vehicles must get service done
with registered service centers only
43) Also it should be mandatory that all the payments to the vehicle
service centers must be through bank transaction only, either
through bank card, online, cheque (even if drivers, other than
vehicle owners go to pick up the vehicle after service done, they
can pay online, through crossed cheque sent through the person
who picks up the vehicle).
It should be a criminal offence to accept cash transactions, also a
criminal office to pay by cash for vehicle service expenditure bills.
Government RTA must create a mobile APP for the vehicle owners,
service centers, pollution certification centers to provide
information on real time about the service done, issue of pollution
certification, payment details, due date, kilometres done at the
time of service etc.
44) The RTA should provide a unique number for every periodic service
of the vehicle with a certificate/ pass (which can be downloading
and printed from the RTA website by the vehicle owners) that is
valid to run the vehicle from so and so kilometres till the next
service due.
45) It should be mandatory on the part of the vehicle owners to carry
all the documents along with them; alternatively all the vehicle
owners can store the vehicle data in the web space of the road
transport department; and the traffic police can get details from
the RTA website.
MANDATORY ONLINE SUBMISSION OF VEHICLE FITNESS BY ALL
VEHICLE USERS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS
46) Also government must make it mandatory that the vehicle owners
or the drivers must mandatorily check for the fitness of the vehicle
every day before it is taken out, like tyre pressure, engine oils,
coolant and the fuel, must sent an SMS / to the mobile APP of the
RTA that he/ she verified the primary fitness of the vehicle and all
are in order to move the vehicle.

Page 17 of 49

As it is fact that proper tyre pressure as prescribed per that vehicle

if maintained may reduce fuel consumption of vehicle by 10%; as
such in case of vehicles tyre pressure is low they should mention
that tyre pressure is low for more than one tyre (after replacing the
single Stepney tyre), also in case the fuel is low etc they should
mention and should take the vehicle to the nearest fuel station for
filling; similarly for the battery, also the lubricants /engine oil.
All this is necessary to ensure safety of the vehicle and also in the
safety of other persons in the traffic, to prevent the vehicle from
possible break down in the middle of the road on busy traffic,
causing heavy traffic jams, leading to excessive emission of
pollution, all because of callousness of the driver/ owner of the
vehicle failure to check the basic
HEAVY FINE IN CASE THE VEHICLE BREAK DOWN SUDDENLY ON
THE MIDDLE OF ROAD IN THE TRAFFIC DUE TO LOW FUEL, OR
DUE TO TYRE DEFLATION, ENGINE OVER HEATING DUE TO
LEAKAGE OF / THICKENING OF LUBRICANTS ETC
47) Also if any vehicle stops / break downs due to tyre deflation/ empty
of the fuel tank then the vehicle should be levied heavy fine for
violation of primary traffic rule causing traffic jams/ slow down of
traffic which leads to heavy emissions in that territory; in case it is
due to empty fuel tank, the vehicles must inform the police
immediately through toll free number/ Mobile APP, that in so and
so area their vehicle got break down due to empty fuel and they
require fuel, or if it is due to tyre burst, need replacement with
Stepney, else need to get the tyre to get fill the patch etc, in all
such cases driver who needs fuel in lose, can be obtained by
providing the traffic police special code after informing the need,
which should be automatically informed to the RTA and all fuel
stations, and the driver or any person can get lose fuel by
submitting the code along with the driving licence number, vehicle
registration number and copy, along with the onetime code sent to
the mobile of the vehicle owner/ driver; maximum amount of fuel
obtained from fuel stations in all such cases is in limited quantity
of maximum of 5 litters to just start the vehicle and reach to the
nearest fuel station.
In case of tyre deflation and no Stepney tyre or the Stepney tyre
too get deflated or in non working condition or no tyre replacement
equipment (Jacky) then then the vehicle should get heavy penalty
for non checking of the vehicle; also heavy fine for non
maintenance of Stepney tyre in working condition, also heavy fine
for not taking tool kits as standard equipment to replace the
deflated tyre.
Page 18 of 49

MANDATORY TRAINING/ EDUCATION OF DRIVERS REGARDING

OPTIMAL SPEEDS TO CHANGE GEARS, OPTIMAL USE OF CLUTCH
AND MAINTAINING IDEAL RPM FOR ENSURING LOW EMISSIONS
48) Also government must educate all the drivers regarding the driving
skills not only on safe driving, but also on how to drive the vehicle
to achieve maximum mileage per litre of fuel; it is a fact most of
the drivers are un professional trained, lacks driving skills &
efficient ways of driving (irrespective of education qualifications of
the person who learned driving), they do not aware of the real
efficient, effortless driving skills, most of them do excess use of
clutch then the required in all manual transmission vehicles which
is leading to on an average 30 % more fuel consumption than the
normal in addition to quicker wear and tear of clutch plate and
other parts of the engine causing more emissions.
Also due to frequent change gars more fuel is consumed, most of
the drivers do not follow the need for changing gears at the
optimum speed, resulting in excessive fuel consumption, so drivers
must be educated, made to practice gears shifts at optimal speeds.
Also required is to thought about and make them practice to drive
vehicles maintaining the optimum RPM of the vehicle to achieve
more fuel efficiency.
MANDATORY DIGITAL ONLINE LOG BOOK WITH RTA BY EVERY
VEHICLE USER FOR MULTIPLE BENEFITS
49) Also it should be mandatory that every vehicle must maintain digital
online log book through mobile APP of the RTA or through SMS the
daily beginning and ending kilometres, the fuel filled details (which
should tally fuel purchased in fuel stations, in case if any lose fuel
poured in or in case any loss of fuel due to leakage etc also should
be mentioned in the log book), the starting time, the ending time
of the vehicle also should be entered in the log book; Failure to
maintain the online real time digital log book by the vehicle owners
should be penalised.
Also it should be mandatory that for all vehicles must inform the
total kilometres reading done till that time at the fuel stations to
obtain the bar coded fuel purchase slip to obtain the fuel every
time when they visit fuel station for filling the fuel. This measure
will certainly lead to maintenance of vehicle/ improve driving skills,
and also there will not be any pilferage of fuel and selling in gray
market for less cost.

Page 19 of 49

In case, the system finds that the vehicle mileage in the trip is
below average mileage, them the vehicle should be advised to
mandatorily go for service centre to check for the reason, in case
everything is normal, then they will do drivers counselling and re
tested for their driving skills,. This measure will certainly improve
efficiency, mileage and reduce emission due to less fuel burning.
DIGITAL ONLINE REAL TIME
CERTIFICATION TO ENSURE
PROPERLY

POLLUTION UNDER CONTROL

VEHICLES ARE MAINTAINED

50) It is a fact that the pollution certification are done mostly for the
sake of sticker as an ornament to show to the RTA/ Police that
there is pollution certified when actually they emit enormous
amounts of pollution as there is no stringent norms for issue of
pollution certification and no digitalised information about the
pollution levels the vehicles emitting. As such it should be
mandatory that all the vehicles must undergo pollution under
control certification periodically under totally automated digitalised
data of emissions ensuring no scope for doctoring the emissions;
the pollution certification must be done at mid of the total Km of
service period, i.e. in case service done at 10000 km, and the next
service required at 20000 Km, the pollution check must be done at
15000 Km, and the pollution under control certification results
should be updated automatically as per the vehicle registration
online real time with commuter& internet based system at the RTA.
RTA should provide unique number for periodic pollution
certification for each time performing the test. While conducting
the inspections by RTA or traffic police just by providing the
number the authorities find out the details of emissions, validity;
also the vehicles owners must submit details of pollution under
certification to the RWA and Taxi stand associations. In case fail to
submit the PUC certification, the RWA, commercial passer vehicles
associations must not allow such vehicles to park in their parking
places.
51) As far as the non state vehicles (both commercial passenger, goods,
and also personal vehicles) entering state should get pollution
under control certification at the outskirts in the border in the home
territory or from which state the vehicle entering other state, in
case the pollution is above the limits, the vehicle should not be
permitted to enter the state, all the pollution tests must be under
CC camera live so that no kind of corruption occurs. As it is a fact
that most the non state vehicles especially heavy vehicles are
emitting excess pollution. To make more effective of this measure
centralised data of vehicles registration of all states, with details of
Page 20 of 49

emissions, also issue of fuel through automated system using

electronic smart card and driving licences, to compel the vehicles to
periodically undergo the vehicle pollution certification as suggested
in my Doc Simple and Effective Reforms for controlling corruption,
2011, under Transport sector reforms (Central petro fuels network
authority).
52) Also it should be mandatory that government must conduct surprise
pollution checks in camera very day to cover 0.05 % of the
vehicles every day in multiple locations with mobile units / fixed
units in fixed locations covering at least 10% of total vehicle
pollution got surprise check for identifying the practice of
maintaining the vehicles for within permissible pollution emission.
BANNING MANUFACTURING, IMPORT OF SPARE PARTS WITHOUT
APPROVAL FROM THE MANUFACTURERS OF VEHICLES TO
CONTAIN SUB STANDARD SPARE PARTS USAGE DURING REPAIR
AND MAINTENANCE TO CONTAIN VEHICLE POLLUTION
53) It is a fact that the major cause of pollution from vehicles is the use
of sub standard spare parts of vehicles, it is a fact the there are
contrabands; duplicate spare parts for vehicles are manufactured,
selling without any control. Since the standards are not maintained
while manufacturing the parts, these spares are without the quality
of material or standard process of manufacture, as such spares
even though getting fit in the engines, vehicle assembly, but are
subjected to severe wear and tear as a result the vehicles mileage
is getting reduced and more emissions are happing, also the life
span of the vehicle engine is declining drastically. As such
government must ban manufacture, distribute, sale, use, purchase
spare parts from the market, it should be a non bail able criminal
offence.
Complete ban on purchasing spare parts by the individual vehicle
owners, only the service centers must purchase, also all spares
replacement must be done mandatorily through service centers
only; it should be mandatory that all service centers must share
real time inventory of the spare parts issue online with RTAs of all
states and the manufacturers association. These measures will
reduce the vehicle pollution to a great extent.
BAN ON RE-BORING OF ENGINES OR FITTING SECOND HAND
ENGINES
Also it is fact that most of the service centers indulge in re-boring
of the engine in case engine is seized due to lack of lubrication or
for any other reason. It is fact that re-boring will not be the same
Page 21 of 49

as company manufactured engine displacement. As a result they

emit excess exhaust emissions over a period of time.
54) Banning re-boring of engines and in case the vehicle reaches the
stage of re-boring then the vehicles should be scrapped, also levy
of heavy fine for getting the vehicle to reach the re boring state
before the life time of the vehicle due to poor maintenance due to
callousness/ criminal negligence; This measure will certainly ensure
all the vehicles are maintained regularly.
Also it should be criminal offence to make re boring by any service
centers or replace new or second hand engines for all re bored
stage vehicles.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESIDENT WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS,
APARTMENTS/
GATED
COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATIONS,
THE
COMMERCIAL PASSENGER, GOODS TRANSPORT ASSOCIATIONS
55) Also it should be mandatory that all the RWA must get registered
with Government, also all the RWA must maintain the Vehicle
population details in their respective RWA members n a standard
format, the details of place of work, the details of educational
institutions in case children going for study and the frequency of
use of the vehicle. And submit the same to the RTA of government
for preparing the vehicle census.
Also it should be mandatory that vehicle owners to submit the
periodic maintenance unique number, also PUC unique number to
the association of apartments, gated communities / RWA /
Societies; in case they fail to submit, it should be the responsibility
of the RWA security not to allow the vehicles to park inside the
RAW/ Apartment parking, should inform the RTA about the same in
case the vehicle did not get serviced and running on the streets. In
case in the surprise checks the vehicles belonging the a particular
RWA is running without periodic service, without notice from the
RWA information to the vehicle owner, as well as RTA then the
RWA should be penalised along with the vehicle owner for wilful
negligence on the part of the RWA.
56) Also it should mandatory that all private commercial passenger
transport associations must get registered as per the territory wise,
stand wise; also must maintain the details of the Vehicle in their
stand with vehicle registration numbers and the driving license
numbers of the drivers, their contact address, contact phone
numbers etc in their stand and and inform the RTA.

Page 22 of 49

The Commercial passenger vehicles association must get check

periodic vehicle maintenance records of the vehicles of their
members i.e. the service centre certification, pollution check
certification, in case the private commercial transport vehicle emits
the pollution on surprise check, then the association of parking
stand of the private commercial vehicles in that locality should be
levied fine in addition to the fine of the individual violation. This
measure ensures all the autos, cars, vans/ buses/ Lorries get
regular maintenance & ensure regular pollution checks.
57) Also all the vehicles owned by the companies, firms, business
establishments whether passenger transport of their employees,
commercial goods transport must register with RTA separately each
territory wise, in the name of business association of that territory
and they should mandatorily get their vehicles service done,
pollution check done and submit the same to RTA, otherwise
running those vehicles without servicing periodically should attract
heavy penalty to the individual vehicle owner as well as business
association of that territory.
58) Also mandatory creation of entry/ exit barriers for the place of
habitations which do not have RWA, like slums, or other
habitations, ensure the government take door to door vehicle
census, along with voluntary groups, local political leaders act as
vigilant-arians and also to create a RWA by the government for
implementation of all other activities as normal RWA conduct.
MANDATORY CREATION OF COMMUNITY POLICING WARD WISE,
RWA WISE, and MANDATORY FOR YOUTH AGED BETWEEN 21 TO
40 SHOULD BE PART OF IT
59) Also it should be mandatory hence forth that government create a
community police units in ever ward, also in every RWA. Also it
should be mandatory that all youth aged between 21 years and 40
years to be part of community police of that territory of living; the
community police duty will be for 1/12 of the total strength of the
members of community police of that territory every month by
lottory system, all the community police will be trained in basic
course of identifying criminals, criminal activities in their territory.
Also government must ensure like ASHES in health ministry the
Community police should work in the wards/ Colonies on honorary
pay, who are recruited from among the un employed youth and
provided basic training on surveillance, information gathering, who
will work in coordination with the local police and the local
residents, act as information gathering agents in that territory for
better security and intelligence.

ONLINE REAL TIME TRACKING COMMERCIAL PASSENGER

VEHICLES USED BY WOMEN PASSENGERS, THE ENTIRE TRIP TILL
THEY REACH THE DESTINATION
60) Since the safety of women passengers is still a big concern for
many, and the biggest apprehension for many in the event of
alternative even no, odd no system, it is very necessary that there
should be a system that whenever women uses a private
commercial passenger vehicles (taxi, auto), the entire movement
must be tracked; as suggested in this document that it should be
mandatory hence forth that all private commercial passenger
vehicles should be equipped with GPS and booking online through
online mobile APP or through call centre and ban on hiring on road
side, pick up by road side. (only non motored vehicles like bicycle
rickshaws can be permitted to operate within the colonies, RWA in
the internal roads, can be hired by road side); in order to provide
more confidence to women passengers hiring motored commercial
passenger vehicles, government must ensure that their trip from
the beginning to end point will be closely monitored, tracked
remotely in the GPS entire route.
For tracking women passengers the role of community police is
must, as government police along cannot do tracking Lakhs of
women every single day.; for this purpose of tracking government
must create a separate establishment centrally with special
software to provide GPS mapping of all women passengers using
the Commercial Passenger vehicles, the software segregates
starting point wise, destination wise; all the Community police
teams at in the GPS route map should get real time vehicle
movement of the commercial passenger vehicle used by the
women passenger, and it is the duty of community police to track
the movement of the vehicles in their territory, (more or less like
air planes tracking for crossing the air space by the riders), since
the vehicles are divided as per ward wise/ RWA wise, the number
vehicles of tracking will be in hundreds, in case they found the
vehicle is not moving or the vehicle is deviated from the
given/predetermined path then they should immediately alert the
special establishment police, to contact the women passenger as
well as driver with voice recoding the reason for stoppage of
vehicle or deviation of vehicle route, in case found safe they will
tracking as normal case; In case no communication from both
driver and women passenger within immediately alert the
community police/ patrol police to trace the vehicle in all
surrounding RWA/ wards where they last spotted without
movement or lost GPS contact or lost phone contact; all this should
happen within two to three minutes so that no were the vehicle can
hide in the event of wrong motives of the driver, and the within two
Page 24 of 49

to three minutes vehicles may not move more than 10 km radius in

cities with moderate to heavy traffic density.
Also it should be mandatory that all APP based Commercial
passenger vehicles (Taxies/ autos) must strictly adhere to the
route GPS route map all the times while reaching from point A to
point B, more specifically when women passengers are commuting.
And it should be criminal offence to deviate the GPS route Map.
In this system all calls should be routed to the government so that
neither driver of the cab, nor the RWA community police has either
the name of phone number of the women passenger, they has to
communicate through call centre and only identifying through
booking number, so there will not be any privacy breach issue.
Also in order to ensure further more security it should be
mandatory that all women passengers must provide at least
three/Five immediate contact persons list (Parents, siblings,
husband, friends, and children) while registering with the
commercial passenger vehicles GPS APP, so that all three contacts
will get the tracking of the trip, in addition reaching of the
destination.
Also it should be mandatory for all APP based GPS commercial
passenger vehicles registration to provide the voter ID card
number, pass port or driving licence or ID card or Pan card so that
in the event of any need arise, they can retrieve the photo of the
passenger, especially women passengers, in addition getting details
immediately from the three contacts provided by the women
passenger while registering with the APP.
61) Also for further safety of passengers, especially women passengers,
it should be made mandatory that all smart phones used by the
Commercial passenger vehicles should be instilled by default the
spy software which will be activated by the permission of highest
authority in the police in the event of the GPS enabled smart phone
of the driver and the women passenger are not responding, to
track the location, and remotely on the smart phone micro phones,
in order to identify, trace the vehicle, driver, women passenger,
also in extreme cases to immediately obtain his previous call list,
text massages list, photographs taken, stored, last web surfing
data to access to his behaviour, to access his friends to know about
his possible immediate location. This extreme measure activated
only after the Ward/RWA community police, police patrol vehicles
in the missing tracking location fail to trace the vehicle in their
location within a span of 30 minutes. This will certainly be a big
confidence booster for women passengers, also it will ensure that
Page 25 of 49

all drivers ferrying women passengers are fully alert, exhibit ethical
behaviour ensure women passenger reaches destination safely.
Also in case any passengers, especially the women passengers
complains about the abnormal behaviour of the driver or if they
notice that driver is drunken or smoking then the community police
of the ward/ RWA in the near location must stop the vehicle and
conduct the breath analyser test for confirmation or confronting the
driver and in case the driver found guilty then the driver should be
handed over to police for arrest, and the women passenger must
be get dropped safely to her destination.
SOLAR POWERED STREET LIGHTS ON EVERY ROAD IN THE CITY;
ALL ROADS SHOULD HAVE FENCING, ALL ROADS UNDER CC
CAMERA SURVEILLANCE
62) Also it should be the duty of the Govt to make all city roads
including sub lanes are lighted with solar street lights automated
system (to monitor the function of street lights remotely) so there
there will not be any dark areas, also continues monitoring of
streets with High resolution CC cameras, and a 24/7 team watch
ward wise to replace the non working street lights. Also all the
roads, especially where there is no habitations/ isolated locations
must have full fledge fencing to ensure no one can go out of road,
also all roads, especially the isolated areas must be under 24/7 CC
camera surveillance These measures are necessary to marginalize
the crimes, and to boost the confidence in the women to travel
after sun set. Also it is ideal that government must make street
lights under PPP operation on BOO or BOOT bases so that there will
be up time of 99.9% and also initial investment for government is
just providing land and installation maintenance is private, while
monitoring the function can be jointly done by the government and
private. The CC camera surveillance of all streets must be under
government only for ensuring privacy of residents.
INCENTIVES
POLLUTION

FOR

VOLUNTARY

INITIATIVES

TO

REDUCE

63) Also government must provide certain tax incentives or onetime

payment per year for all establishments for providing support like
bus/ metro services for the employees/ students
64) Also government must provide incentives for all those who shift
their residences from far way to less than 5 Km radius of the office
establishments, educational institutions to cover part of their
shifting expenditure. Else government must provide free
transportation for house shifting goods carrying from far way home
Page 26 of 49

in the city to less than 5 Km from their work place or their children
educational institute.
65) Also government must make it mandatory that the life span of the
vehicle should be
fixed at 10 years, as every year new
technologies in safety, fuel efficiency, less emissions are getting
into market, it is literally criminal on the part of individuals,
government to allow the age old vehicles causing huge loss to not
only to the environment but also to the individual vehicle owner;
government make sure hence forth all the vehicles must get
scraped after completion of 10 years of manufacture, and
government must provide tax concession for all people for
purchasing new vehicles after scrapping the old vehicle which
completed 10 years. This measure should start first from the
government vehicles, Road transport corporation vehicles; also for
the existing vehicles who paid life tax for 15 years government
must compensate with refunding 1/3 of amount collected as life tax
Since this measure will ensure more sales of new vehicles
government must get part of the compensation of as discount from
the vehicle manufacturers association for purchase of new vehicles
by scrapping old vehicles. This measure will certainly generate lot
of employment in the manufacture.
66) Also government must provide incentives for car using car pooling/
two wheeler pooling by the same locality persons for using the two
wheelers, provided such vehicles are GPS enable and the RWA /
society association certifies that the persons using the car pool/
two wheeler pool one vehicle is residing at home; this vehicle
pooling will be applicable only to employees working residing in the
same RWA/ society/ enroute to the place of work.
PENALTIES FOR EMISSION VIOLATION
67) The penalties for violation by personal passenger vehicles for non
periodic maintenance should be 3 times the maintenance cost for
first violation, 6 times maintenance for the second violation and
imprisonment for third consecutive violation. For commercial
passenger vehicles 5 times the maintenance cost for first violation,
second violation 10 times the maintenance cost, third violation
should lead to imprisonment for the owner of the vehicle and for
both passenger and goods vehicles of the corporate, business
establishments first violation should 5 times, second violation 10
times third violation imprisonment for the authorised person of that
company. For every violation the challan should be E challan with
record in the RTA website so that same vehicle will not be
subjected to inspection several times in multiple locations, also
Page 27 of 49

once the E challan for non compliance of periodic service or for

emitting excess pollution then there should be 15 days grace
period time to get rectified through servicing the vehicle before
issuing the second violation challan. And 10 days grace period
before issue of third violation/ imprisonment with impounding the
vehicle. The above measure ensures periodic service by and large,
which will certainly reduce the emissions.
PENALTY FOR PURCHASING SECOND VEHICLE
68) Also it should be mandatory that government impose heavy penalty
on the purchase of second vehicle or possessing second vehicle,
especially in the event of alternative day even no odd no system
there is every possibility rise of purchase of vehicles who already
owned a vehicle to have second, third vehicles, mostly B segment,
C segment vehicles, also some D segment vehicles below 15
Lakhs; as such government must impose a special tax of 30% of
the total vehicle cost of the vehicle of Rs one lakh whichever is
higher should be the as registration cost of second car in the
family; which include spouse (husband/ wife), un employed
children, aged parents in case of joint family, then they should be
barred from having second vehicle, only employed child can buy
the second vehicle in the family; also heavy fine for purchasing
vehicle in others name and using the vehicle on all days (in case
their first vehicle is even number, they can manage to buy the odd
number vehicle).
Also it should be mandatory for the vehicle owners to inform the
RTA in case they provide the vehicles to their family members or
friends to drive, their relation, the vehicles can be allowed to driven
by immediate family members/ family members in case they are
living in the same house as in the address of the vehicle
registration, there should be complete ban on giving vehicles to
colleagues/ friends or family members residing outside the address
of vehicle registration.
Also information about the drivers and all the drivers must be
registered with government, to ensure drivers are trained, police
verified for antecedents, also all payments to drivers through bank
payment for uniform pay and uniform working hours; also
Also hence forth all the vehicle registrations should be done on the
open lottery system every day among the application for
registration after the car was purchased; also it should be
mandatory that certification from the RWA that the persons family
living in the address given as per the Voter ID card or pass port do
not have first car to register a new car; also government put a
Page 28 of 49

moratorium/ban on sale of second hand vehicles for a period of one

year, especially non state registrations in the event of
implementation of alternative day restrictions; also criminal offence
to purchase a vehicle in the name of maid servants/ employees and
use it by the owners; also it should be a criminal offence to lease a
second vehicle and use it by lesser; it is the responsibility of the
RWA to inform the RTA about the car population and family tree of
the persons residing in each house and use of second vehicle by
the family members. This measure will certainly ensure up holding
the spirit of alternative day even no odd no vehicles.
STRINGENT NORMS FOR PROVIDING DRIVING LICENCE FOR NEW
LICENCES, ALL EXISTING DRIVING LICENCES MUST UNDER GO IN
CAMERA TEST AND MUST GET EDUCATED OR QUALITY DRIVING
TO REDUCE EMISSIONS
69) Also since driving habits are directly has as affect not only on the
safety of the driver& people on the road, it also has a direct effect
on the emissions from the vehicle. It is a fact that over 90% of the
drivers in INDIA are un professional trained drivers (not trained in
the professional driving schools with professional guidance), even
the remaining 10% who trained under driving schools they do
practice test of maximum of 10 hours driving, which is insufficient
to understand the required professional skills, as such they are not
aware of efficient professional driving skills, habits, as a result
more emission. It is a fact that most of the people believe just like
that by managing the local RTA agents one can get driving licence
in INDIA, since India having young population of over 65% of
total population, it is necessary that driving licence issue norms
must be made stringent.
It should be made mandatory that all future driving licences must
be issues only after attending professional training under the
guidance of trained driving schools, with computer simulators, with
at least 50 hours of computer simulator and 50 hours of practical
driving classes on the road (total 100 hours), it is ideal that all
driving licences testes should be under CC camera and made public
for scrutiny after qualifying and issuing in the driving licences.
Also necessary is existing driving licences must be retested for
their professional driving skills on computer simulators and every
one must undergo theory and practical classes within a fixed time
frame of one year. This measure will certainly reduce the emissions
to a great extent due to adopting efficient way of driving.

Page 29 of 49

MEASURE TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM EXPLOITATION BY THE

COMMERCIAL PRIVATE PASSENGER VEHICLES.
70) Also it should be made mandatory that all the commercial
passenger transport payments must be through separate APP
based mobile cash, online transaction or unified / single pre paid
card smart card that can be purchased from any out lets for
payment (used for bus, metro), this measure ensures that private
public commercial vehicles do not over- charge, exploit the people
in peak hours; the system should be similar to APP based taxies
such as like UBER, OLA etc but operated by the government.
In this the details including the name of the passenger must not be
visible to the taxi/ auto operator except to accept the booking on
the request of the passenger, the taxi/ auto cannot deny in case
booked online, and this measure protects the privacy for the users,
it also reduces excess charging/overcharging by the operators. It is
also provides by and large safety and security for the passengers
especially the female passengers, elderly people. This measure
should be made mandatory even to the APP based private taxi like
UBER, OLA etc so that privacy of the passengers will be
maintained, only based on the unique ID registration number they
should do conversation if needed.
Also there should be call centre to be called by the people who do
not own a smart phone to call the call centre for hiring an auto/
taxi in the vicinity, without the official booking the auto/ taxi for
commercial purpose cannot run on the roads.
FIXING THE CHARGES FOR COMMERCIAL PASSENGER VEHICLES
CABS/AUTOS DURING PEAK HOURS LIMITING TO 1.2 TIMES
MAXIMUM OR 20% EXTRA ON NORMAL CHARGES
71) Also government must fix a cap on the maximum limit charges for
the APP based taxi of 20% extra i.e. 1.2% times normal charges
during the traffic period or so called peak hours; it is an open
secret that the APP Based Taxies are latterly squeezing people by
exorbitantly charging during peak hours with 4 times 5 times the
normal chares, when the normal chares for any fixed destination
itself are twice the auto charges (which is otherwise a criminal act
on the part of the governments to allow the APP based taxi
operators to loot the public openly; All such activities of private APP
based cabs can be eliminated
As such in order to save people from over exploitation, govt.
Should ensure that the traffic period cannot be calculated based
on the working time of offices/ so called peak hours, but it should
Page 30 of 49

be on any time if there is heavy traffic due to any reason and slow
movement of vehicles; in all such cases the taxi meter should
automatically calculated over and above normal average time of
travel i.e. average time of travel from point A to point B with
average speed including the time of waiting at all signals enroot,
for every extra 5 minutes 5% more charge, with a maximum of
20% extra charge even if the time for completion of journey from
end point to end point crossed beyond 20 minutes extra than the
normal time ex even in case time for completion of journey
exceeds 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes, still maximum charge is
1.2 times normal charge). Also in order to avoid traffic,
government must monitor the traffic through CC CAMERA
surveillance and direct the vehicles to take the suggested route,
and government must have the key to alter the route for all
commercial vehicles in case of traffic from point A to Point B in
alternative route, and it should be mandatory on the part of the
APP based commercial passenger vehicles to strictly follow the GPS
map all the time. This measure is very necessary (especially in the
alternative day even no odd no implementation to protect the
common people from exploitation.
VEHICLE POOLING (CAR & TWO WHEELER) THROUGH RWA,
SOCIETIES THROUGH GOVERNMENT
It is a fact that the density of population of vehicles on the roads is
swelling day by day due the fact that there is lack of vehicle
pooling systems, it is a fact that many people living in same RWA
or even in same apartment, even working in same locality, same
office, enroute office use individual vehicle to reach to the office, at
the same time and return home same time,; strongly if they are
under car pool, five people can travel in a single car, thus saving
fuel for four cars, thus saving emissions from four cars, in addition
also saving emissions from several hundreds of other cars/ vehicles
on the road, as in case if the other four are also take the vehicles
then the four cars occupy certain amount space, leading to traffic
congestions to certain extent, leading to slow down of vehicles
leading to more emissions. So by car pooling lot of emissions can
be reduced, in addition to savings of fuel for the individuals, as
such government must encourage car pooling through some
additional incentives for helping in reducing emissions.
72) For ensuring perfect pooling Vehicle pooling clubs must created as
per RWA/ Society wise/ area wise. For this the RWA must get the
data of the population of the vehicles, and the place of work,
timings of the work/ working hours, of each vehicle owner, with
details of persons who opt for a car/bike pool; and RWA must first
convince a meeting with all the people who are having same work
Page 31 of 49

place, enroute work place, else RWA can share details with each
other if the individuals wish to ensure at least some people in the
RWA get vehicle pooling to reduce emissions.
73) Also government must create a software to display the people who
wish to opt for car/bike pooling expressed in writing to RWA /
society Associations, but did not find the vehicle pooling to their
place of work., if some others who are staying in nearby/ passing
enroute who wish to add for vehicle pooling can certainly find other
people in that territory with similar requirements to get vehicle
pooling. Since the antecedents of the vehicle owners are known to
RWA/ Societys by and large there should not be any safety/
security issue.
Before going to vehicle pooling both the parties must submit a
written affidavit to the RTA & POLICE that they do not
intended/indulge in gay/ lesbian/straight sex, do not smoke, do not
consume alcohol before driving or while driving the vehicle; also do
not indulge in illegal/ unlawful activities, force/lure, carpool mate
into acts of prostitution/ gigolo, also do not make the car pool
mates to invest in business or do not have/ make any financial
transactions other than car pool amount, also do not indulge in the
acts of adultery with the family members of the car pool mates;
also all the car pool mates and owner of the vehicle maintain online
log book for trip sheet of Km travelled in the car pooling every day
for pick up and drop (in case one person having even no other
having odd number it will be perfect combination), and share the
expenditure accordingly and the liability of the car pooling person
(other than owner of the vehicle) is limited to the fuel expenses
and additional 10% of the total fuel based on the average mileage
of the vehicle in standard conditions based on the years of
utilisation (else mileage test should be conducted and made
approximate mileage number in the agreement itself) expenses
towards maintenance and depreciation of the vehicle.
MANDATORY VEHICLE POOLING FOR THE GOVERNMENT
OFFICERS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE AND USING GOVERNMENT
VEHICLES FOR PICK UP & DROP FROM HOME TO OFFICE
74) Also it should be mandatory that all government officers who are
provided with government vehicles for Pick up, drop and use for
office purpose must use the Office Vehicle pooling for going to
office from the residence and returning from office to the home,
staying in the same locality/ enroute working in the same place of
work or within one km radius of work place.

Page 32 of 49

For this government must take the details of all the government
employees working at all levels, especially the officers who are
eligible, using government vehicle regarding the place of residence,
place of work, timings of work etc and ensure to pick up four
officers in one car, in a an optimal route plan to optimise the route,
also which will not only reduce the fuel expenditure for the ex
chequer but also it reduces emissions from four cars; all the
officers must make the vehicles allocated to them to be parked in
the office only, and on reaching office they can use the office car
for office work purpose, similarly while returning home they should
be picked up by one vehicle all four people.
In addition for all other government employees who are coming in
the same route can pick up other people working in the same office
or within 1 Km radius from their offices; this measure saves lot of
traffic on the roads, in addition saves lot of emissions.
COMMERCIAL PERMIT FOR NON COMMERCIAL CITIZEN PERSONAL
VEHICLES (TWO/FOUR) IN LIMITED WAY, I.E WHEN THEIR
EXISTS EMPTY SPACE (ONE PASSENGER IN CASE OF TWO
WHEELER, 3 OR 4 PASSENGERS IN CASE OF FOUR WHEELERS) TO
ENSURING AVAILABILITY OF MORE NUMBER OF VEHICLES TO
THE COMMUTERS, ALSO TO REDUCE LOAD ON THE MULTI MODE
MASS TRANSPORT SYSTEM.
75) Also government must create a mobile Mobile APP for providing
limited commercial permit for personal vehicles (LCPPV) similar to
APP based cabs like OLA/ UBER/ TAXI FOR SURE Etc with details
starting from to reaching destination on the GPS map of LCPPV
users, so that any person enroute who wish to go in the same
direction in between the destination points must request the LCPPV
in the APP with their starting point and end point, the APP connect
to first person or by random and in case the person who is owning
the vehicle agrees to pick up they can be connected via call centre,
even there is no need for exchange of phone numbers, or names as
all calls, bookings made on the unique ID for both carpooling
vehicle owner and person seeking lift who was registered with the
carpooling APP providing their antecedents certified by local police.
This is either for free ride or for a nominal pay fixed as per the
choice of the carpooling person, but maximum cost should not be
more than average of all APP based radio taxies, and the charges
decided by the carpool vehicle provider must be prior informed to
the APP operators through the APP for informing the vehicle lift
seeker; all the payments in this system should be through online
through APP so that there will not be any transaction between the
persons, the ride will be authenticated only when there is sufficient
money in the APP valet.
Page 33 of 49

This measure will not only provide some monitory benefit for
vehicle owners especially for the two wheelers, also to some four
wheelers
(who own a vehicle mostly on finance, since they
themselves being a single person taking vehicle they feel financial
burden for the fuel charge and maintenance charge, for such
people it is real boon, as it is a fact that most of the BPL, LOW,
MIDDLE INCOME group people purchase vehicles (two/four)
through bank loan, especially the employees not only for
convenience but also to command social respect, even though for
some it will be a quite burden sum for them, for all such people this
measure will relive their financial burden to a considerable extent;
also it reduces traffic, congestions, it reduces pollution emissions, it
reduces density in the public mass transport.
Also this measure ensure more supply of vehicles into the system
at affordable cost of travel available to common people (especially
in the event of alternate day even odd number vehicles); it reduces
the monopoly of private APP based cabs, due to availability of more
vehicles
In order to ensure the investments made by many un employed
taking bank loans for running cabs for the APP based taxi services,
also to ensure the safety of the vehicle owners of car pool
providers, (being not the professional drives, in addition already
get fatigue due to 8 hours of duty at the work place), the vehicle
pooling cars, two wheelers must be limited within the fixed route of
from office to home or from home to office; also in case of a four
wheeler in case one person books the vehicle the normal charges
be applicable, in case two or four persons like to book then the
normal cost can be divided among the number of passengers,
government must provide incentives for discount in fuel for
accepting more people in the car limiting to seating capacity of the
vehicle. This measure will really work out for employees to prefer
this instated of bus/ auto/ APP based taxi if they are travelling in
the same route; however on public holidays there are no such
restrictions and from these kind of car pool vehicles can take any
distance within the city limits.

GOVERNMENT
MONITORED
APP
BASED
COMMERCIAL
OPERATIONS FOR BOTH COMMERCIAL AND NON COMMERCIAL
VEHICLES WHICH RETURN EMPTY/ AFTER THEIR DAY ENDS;
FIXED NUMBER OF DRIVING OF VEHICLES FOR ALL COMMERCIAL
PASSENGER OR DRIVER DRIVEN NON COMMERCIAL PRIVATE
VEHICLES
76) Also government must create a separate APP for the empty three
wheeler autos, empty taxies, it should be mandatory that all the
commercial cabs, autos after the completion of 8 hours of drive per
day, must get relieved from the driving, either they may be relived
with some other drivers at a fixed point in case of vehicles are
owned by the companies or even if the owners of the vehicles
intended to earn more from more hours of driving through giving it
to others, there should be fixed points of locations in every ward
from where there should be change of drivers should take place,
intimating the RTA the same that the change of driver taken place;
Also in case the driver wishes to close the vehicle after completion
of the 8 hours duty and wish to return home, return to the point of
parking the vehicle then from the time & place of closing to the
place of home, resting of the vehicle point should be considered as
empty trip, and all empty trips should be charged with 50% of the
total cost, also it should be mandatory that all the commercial
vehicles must carry passengers enroute, as it is a fact that most of
the cab drivers, most of the auto drivers while closing for the day
go long distances to reach their homes, their owners place, they go
empty, but do not stop to take passengers, it is really pathetic that
most of the BPL, LOW, MIDDLE income people has to plead for
hundreds of autos with waving hand can chanting auto auto, taxi
taxi to hire a vehicle to go home. In the event of all taxies, autos
are APP based, this measure will certainly provide not only income
to the vehicle owners, but also it improves availability of vehicles to
the citizens who are going to travel in those particular routes.
77) Also it should be made mandatory that all professional drivers
whether APP based radio taxi or any other taxi service drivers or
even drivers engaged by the government/private office
establishment of private citizens, should not work beyond 8 hours
at a stretch with + or 1 hours extra duty in any given day, this
measure is necessary as more than 8 hours duty causes fatigue to
the drivers as a result their driving efficiency gets effected, in
addition to behavioural changes, the online real time vehicle log
book maintained by driver as suggested in this document will
provide the information of number of working hours of the driver.
It should be criminal offence to make drivers to work beyond 8
hours or even cab owners who do self driving for commercial
Page 35 of 49

purposes should not drive beyond 8 hours of logging in for the day
of 24 hours count.
Also this should be applied to all private vehicles/ commercial
goods vehicles plying on the high ways; all vehicles plying in the
high ways, the drivers should not drive at a stretch for more than
3 hours at a stretch, must take 10 minutes rest for every three
hours of driving, and if a driver completes 8 hours of driving,
he/she should take rest and give the vehicle for driving for spare
driver also required is high way hubs every 50 kilometres stretch,
to park vehicles and rest rooms, and food courts. (Ref my Doc
Simple and effective Reforms 2011 Nov/Dec under heading
Transport sector reforms.) This measure reduces fatigue and
reduces accidents to a great extent saving Lakhs of lives.
Also government must create appropriate parking stands in
verticals for parking commercial passenger vehicles like taxies,
autos in every ward / locality so that the drivers can park their
vehicle in that stand and go home by bus/ metro or by sharing with
others which also useful for the persons to save empty travel fuel
and excess fuel burning.
MANDATORY UNIFIED PAYMENT CARD FOR METRO, BUSES (EVEN
FOR COMMERCIAL PASSENGER VEHICLES LIKE TAXIES/ AUTOS)
FOR PAYMENT THROUGH MOBILE CASH, INCENTIVES FOR THAT,
30% HIGHER COST FOR CASH PAYMENT TICKETS
78) Also government must in coordination with road transport vehicles,
also the railways for metro rail to have a unified pay by card
system, any person can purchase the smart card filled with money,
and can re fill the same any time from any mobile recharge centers
or online banking or in post offices or in banks, and discourage the
cash payments for travel in the bus/ metro rail, as in the event of
alternate day even no odd no vehicles there will be heavy rush in
the metros, buses and it will be difficult for the people to pay exact
change, or stand in ques; instead if the buses, metro are fitted with
electronic cash acceptance machines before boarding they can just
swipe and go inside the bus/ metro. This measure is very helpful to
people especially in the rush hours. Also in case mandatory Non
cash payments for all commercial passenger vehicles the facility
will be a used to pay for the trip other than the APP based wallet.
In order to discourage cash payments, government must charge
30% extra for cash tickets, and normal charges or even 10% less
for the cashless card transactions.

Page 36 of 49

79) Also it is ideal to use the office buses, educational institutions buses
mandatorily during the ideal time for public transport on
commercial bases to reduce the load on the existing system, also
to increase the number of buses in the city either through their
drivers or forming a consortium/ private operators can hire the
buses from designated locations and operate with their qualified
tested drivers and place the but in the same place where they
picked up the bus in the early morning. Also it should be made
mandatory that all buses used by the office establishments or
educational institutions must be CNG operated or mini buses of
electric battery operated.
80) Since there are lot of buses needed in the event of alternative day
even odd no vehicles system, then government alone cannot invest
huge sums, as such government must tie with OEM bus
manufacturers to operate CNG buses in the cities or invite any
private operators operate buses in the city. This measure will
certainly reduce the load on the existing buses/ metro system.
81) Also government must operate exclusive buses for women, also
government must provide subsidy to run exclusive cabs/ autos run
by women for women; also special concessions from government
for exclusive car pooling for women operated by women.
VOLUNTARY/ NOMINAL PAY VEHICLE SERVICES DURING
MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES
THROUGH
CREATION
OF
RWA
VOLUNTARY GROUPS TO FERRY PEOPLE IN THE RWA/ NEAR BY
TERRITORY IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCIES OR FOR
ATTENDING MEDICAL NEEDS
Also it is very ideal to ensure someone is available to pick up people to
take to doctor/ hospital at any given time in medical emergencies either
free of cost or nominal charges or for a fixed cost. Especially in the event
of Alternative day even no odd no system this measure is necessary.
82) To create a voluntary group for medical emergencies in every RWA,
the RWA should collect the details from the vehicle owners in that
RAW from all the residents of the RWA that whether they are
willing to support other residents in case of medical emergencies
who dont own a vehicle or who do not have drivers who do not
know self drive, or self drive not possible, or in the event of
restriction day for their personal vehicle in the event of alternative
day even no odd no system. All the people who are voluntarily
willing to help people in emergencies must be kept as a pool
number in that RWA medical emergency voluntary group,

Page 37 of 49

Also all the doctors numbers, Hospitals numbers, route maps in the
RWA must be made available to all the members of the RWA and
RWA should inform to the RTA, govt, that so and so doctors are
residing in the RWA and also so and so people are willing to
voluntarily respond to the emergency help to take people of the
RWA to the hospital in case of emergency; government must
provide some incentives for responding to the emergency calls by
the common citizens, especially for children, aged people, pregnant
women.
Also there should be APP for the medical emergencies voluntary
group in every territory wise/ RWA wise so that in case of medical
emergencies the voluntary group may respond immediately to
carry the patents to the nearest hospitals on the recommendation
of the qualified doctors of the RWA after conducting first aid; all the
members who are willing to be volunteers for medical emergencies
must be given training in the first AID in case of medical
emergencies; also in case the doctors are not available in the RWA
then the volunteers must go and pick up doctors in case doctors in
the nearby by willing to reach to the home or may take the patents
to the nearest doctor, and on their recommendation they should
take to the nearest hospital. These measures will help people a lot.
OTHER MEASURES TO REDUCE EMISSION; ENCOURAGE USING
BICYCLES
83) Complete ban on educational institutions staff, students using
personal vehicles, this it will reduce maximum traffic congestion,
pollution, and all education institutions must maintain own mass
transport like buses or hire government TC buses/ private buses.
84) Need for identifying the educational institutions in each territory
wise and ensure that particular territory point A to Point B should
have variable/ different timings for the educational institutions,
commercial establishments, offices so that the rush can be reduced
in the public transport system, to reduce traffic density on roads.
85) Also need in the long run is that it should be made mandatory that
all the students must ensure that they will not travel beyond
certain Km, Distance to educational institutes from home according
to age of students; less than 5 km for up to 5th standard, up to 7
km from 6th to 10th, for 10+2/11th& 12th the maximum distance is
10 km for saving time, health, better education and to reduce
pollution levels/ carbon emission and many other benefits.
86) Also there should be levy of fixed amount of cess for every every
individual who travels more than 15 km by vehicles (using diesel,
Page 38 of 49

petrol), less cess for public transport, higher cess for using
personal vehicle for reaching to the office/ work place. This
measure ensure most of the people stay
87) All the students from 5th standard must get mandatory bicycle
riding and government must provide subsidy for bicycle purchase
for students and also to all citizens. And it should be mandatory
that all the students from 8th standard onwards must use bicycle to
attend the educational institute once in a week for 5 Km distance.
88) The subsidy on bicycles for citizens make the citizens purchase the
bicycle to use it for short distances within the colony, in the nearby
vicinity to purchase groceries, for hair cut etc so that some amount
of fuel burning by using vehicle reduced; this measure also reduces
the inconvenience due to even no odd no vehicles.
Also tax concessions for bicycle manufacturing, also incentives for
employees for using the bicycle.; More tax concessions for
manufacturers of electric vehicles; subsidy, zero interest rate for
EMIs for all battery operated electric vehicles for the citizens
89) Also government must construct near all metro stations, bus bays,
also in thickly populated habitations/ RWA, the multi storied
vertical bicycle parking centers and also government must provide
free of cost / at nominal cost per day, (monthly pass/ yearly pass
to use government supplied bicycle any were in the city) bicycles
for the employers / students to use the bicycle from the metro
station / bus stop to the work place. This measure will certainly
encourage them to use the bus/ metro and they will use bicycle to
reach to metro from their home, park bicycle at metro and take
metro to go to work place nearest stop, and take bicycle at metro
station free/ hire and go to work place and wile return repeated the
same. This measure will not only reduce vehicular pollution but also
provides health for users of bicycle in addition to saving fuel costs.
MANDATORY TO REGISTER WITH GOVERNMENT FOR USE OF
DIESEL GENERATORS, DIESEL/ PETROL/ KEROSENE OPERATED
STATIONARY MACHINES TO REDUCE FUEL ADULTERATION DUE
TO LOOSE FUEL SALE
90) Need for mandatory registration for the use of diesel/ kerosene
power generators, all motors using diesel other than vehicular
movement for commercial or residential use; it should be criminal
offence to use the diesel, kerosene, petrol run generators, motors,
machines without registering in the government along with details
of machine/ make, , capacity of the fuel tank, rate of consumption
of fuel as per the manufacturer etc.
Page 39 of 49

It should be mandatory that all such users other than vehicles must
maintain online real time inventory with RTA and update the use of
fuel (ex. In case diesel generator is used, the time of use, need for
use, total hours of use etc) this measure ensures the fuel is used
judiciously and only for the purpose intended.
Also to purchase fuel from the fuel stations for this purpose they
have to inform RTA for need of the fuel and get instant code and on
submitting the code they can purchase fuel from any fuel station in
the city/ state. This measure reduces indiscriminate purchase of
fuels and selling it in black / loose, also it reduces pilferage, theft
by the operators. Without the RTA code, without the registration
number of the equipment, the sale of lose fuel will not occur, the
fuel stations should be barred from selling lose fuel; also since it
should be a criminal offence to hold the fuel un authorised by the
users; the RTA should conduct surprise checks the machines,
premises of the lose oil users to ensure that they will not purchase,
stock the fuel sourced from non fuel stations/ gray market, in case
found excess oil than the stock mentioned in the online inventory,
or running the machines without informing the RTA then the
violation should lead to heavy fine with imprisonment for the
owners, this measure reduces to a great extent the sale of
adulterated oils, use of adulterated oils, pilferage of oils from the
vehicles, diesel generators in the commercial & residential places.
And heavy cess for using the diesel generators in the commercial,
residential use for causing emissions; instead encourage them use
solar power for common lighting, also either solar power/ wind
power, inverters for minimum lighting in the office / commercial
establishments.
Also it should be mandatory that RTA conduct surprise checks of
1% of the total population of such generators/ equipment running
on diesel/ fuel as surprise check on random bases or on specific
complaints. Also there should be a mobile APP for violations found
by any citizens; also it should be the responsibility of the RWA,
Commercial establishment welfare Associations / neighbours to
inform the RTA for violations, and all the user information should
be available online to the public.
MEASURES TO ENSURE QUALITY ROADS IN CITIES FOR SMOOTH
RIDES WITHOUT TRAFFIC JAMS TO CONTAIN EMISSIONS;
MEASURES TO ENSURE SMOOTH FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THE
ROADS WITHOUT TRAFFIC JAMS.
91) It is a fact that due to sub standard rough roads with potholes
everywhere, also digging of roads indiscriminately after laying due
Page 40 of 49

to poor coordination among various government departments and

lack of proper maintenance of roads , especially during the rainy
seasons, over flowing drainage / manholes etc all are major causes
for excess emissions, pollution in the cities, as it is a fact that due
to poor quality of roads leads to slow down of traffic, leading to
vehicle movement stand still, leading to excessive emissions, as
such there is urgent need for corrective measures to put in place to
ensure quality roads available all times to people, especially in
cities.
The first step is to ensure quality roads are laid in the cities, in
addition there should be stand by teams every day to conduct
repair and maintenance, in addition recover the expenditure from
the contractor for poor quality / sub standard in case if the road is
damage prior to its standard life.
The city roads should be divided into block wise, ward wise, all
roads should be Inspected daily with vehicles equipped with high
resolution CC cameras with web casting to find out any damages,
potholes etc and take measurements and the same should be
quickly get repaired over night, or maximum in couple of days.
For this there should be a 24/7 working inter departmental
coordination teams, along with trained staff to conduct repair
quickly. This measure will certainly yield the desired results.
In addition there should be a mobile APP for taking photographs of
any damages to road, drainage system, man holes, electric,
telephone cable, etc and sending it to the government by citizens
with place of photograph, and immediately within hours the
government team must reach and assess the impact and should
make a plan to rectify the same in the wee hours of next day as
the traffic density will be low in the wee hours.
Also need is to ensure no vehicles stand on the road side,
especially the buses, as most of the cities there is no depression
for buses to stop, it is necessary to create depressions for bus
stops, it is necessary in the event of alternative even no odd no
vehicles system, the fleet of buses increase, and without
depressions there will be heavy traffic jams due to buses standing
on the roads occupying majority of the road, even for few seconds
if a bus stops on the road, which leads to several minutes of traffic
jam, as such it is necessary to create depressions for bus stops to
avoid huge emissions.

Page 41 of 49

Also required is to ensure all man holes are maintained regularly

and ensure no man holes are open, semi open. Over flowing, as
these are also causing slowing down of traffic
Also required is keeping depressions for garbage collections and
ensuring all the garbage is collected daily, if required, enhance the
number of garbage bins in a locality, ensure no over flow of
garbage on the roads, which is also one of the major cause of
shrinking the roads leading to slow down of traffic, causing traffic
jams. Government must install high resolution CC cameras with
web casting for monitoring all garbage store rooms, garbage bins,
for ensuring they are not over filled, also people will not over throw
on the roads.
Also required is to ensure no commercial activities on the
pavements by street vendors and make the pavements clean, walk
able, in addition levy of heavy fine for walking on the traffic streets
when pavements are existing, making it mandatory that citizens
use the zebra pedestal crossing, pavements to walk, in addition
use of foot over bridges, under pass bridges. It is necessary to
build number of foot over brides to reduce people walking on the
traffic streets.
Also required is all roads in the cities are under High resolution CC
camera monitoring for ensuring people adhere to road standards,
prevention of crime.
Also need to make measures to stop the animals coming to the
roads, for this government must have animal senses ward wise
and ensure every animal is tied with RFID tagging, for all animals
like buffalos, cows, goats, sheeps in the city, and levy of heavy
fine for the owners of the animals for letting the animals come to
the traffic roads in the cities, violation of more than three times
should lead to imprisonment, all stray animals must be sent to
adoption centers; Also there should be quick response teams to
remove the dead animals on the roads, as it also leads to slow
down of traffic, by observing roads through CC camera monitoring,
also in case any responsible by passing citizen sends a photograph,
information about such observation.
Also required is complete ban of street vendors, selling products
near the traffic islands are also some times causes traffic to get
slow down in case the person near to the signal buys a product,
bargaining, or paying cash, waiting for change etc leading to few
seconds of traffic delay, which is causing further delay of few
minutes for several hundreds of vehicles who are back of the
vehicles who caused this traffic jam, he/ she may not expect,
Page 42 of 49

notice such a jam, as they will cross the signal with ease. The case
is more or less same with street behind people on the traffic
signals, as such govt. Must make complete ban of begging on the
roads, traffic islands, who are also causing slow down of traffic,; t
is a fact that in cities if traffic jam occurs at one place the case
cascading effect will be seen in most part of the cities.
Also required is proper maintenance of traffic signalling and
continues monitoring (24/7), area wise all traffic signals, also need
to ensure sufficient time for all signals, as some places the signals
are for a short duration as low as 5 sec, which is ridiculous, in such
cases people are putting the vehicle engine on with raising the
engine to high to quickly move out from the signal leading to more
emissions, as such it is necessary to study traffic and provide
sufficient time for vehicles to move.
Also the traffic island signalling should be dynamic operated as per
demand on the traffic on the roads rather than fixed number of
seconds of time, as there are some places where one side of traffic
signal there is hardly any traffic/ vehicles in spite of green light at
the same time other side there is several hundreds of vehicles
stranded due to red light, which is also leading to more emissions,
the dynamic traffic lighting will certainly reduce the emissions to a
certain extent
Also it should be mandatory that all commercial vehicles
(passenger, goods), all four wheelers should have a GPS enabled
mobile, system, they should provide the starting point and
destinations point, the government provide the optimal route
based on the traffic at various places so that the vehicles follow the
route map given by government to avoid traffic jams to reduce
emissions.
Also required is to provide details of signals and number of seconds
in general that signal, with subjected to normal traffic on all sides,
in special cases the same should be in dynamic mode to reduce or
increase the signal time and the same should be made available to
all people in the traffic through GPS mobile APP.
Also required is to ensure only president, prime minister of country
and PM, PRESIDENT OF FOREIGN countries only should be given
signal free traffic movement (green channel), all others should
follow all traffic signals, as it is a fact just for few minutes of
stopping at a single signal leading to several hours of traffic jams
leading to heavy emissions.

Page 43 of 49

Also complete ban of protests, political road shows in the roads, all
the protests which are democratic rights should be allowed to
perform in a designated place, similarly political meetings, and
gatherings in designated places in the city out skirts. As it is a fact
that for every now and then the most of the non ruling parties,
NGOs are indulging in protests just like that on the busy streets,
of the cities especially the capital cities leading to heavy traffic
diversion, leading to several hours of slow traffic movement in the
entire city, also some places traffic traffic jams all leading to heavy
emissions of pollution, causing severe respiratory issues to people
Also complete ban on religious processions, marriage possessions,
or any other kind of possessions on the city roads, with exception
to president and prime minister of the country; also all kinds of
processions for any event whether celebration or for memory of
beloved persons, as these processions leads to traffic diversions
and traffic jams leading to heavy emissions.
All the above measures of road will certainly ensure smooth flow of
traffic with minimum or no traffic jams, which is will reduce
emissions to a great extent.
ESTABLISHMENT OF VERMI COMPOST PLANTS IN THE OUTSKIRTS
TO CONVERT DRY LEAVES WASTE TO VERMI COMPOST, INSTEAD
OF BURNING CAUSING POLLUTION
92) Also it is necessary that waste collected from parks, roads mostly
contain dry leaves, in general the disposal of such waste is getting
burnt which is causing pollution, it is ideal that the dry leafs waste
accumulated daily should be converted to organic fertilizer, as
leaves contain many minerals which are essential for plants. as
such government must establish a vermi compost plant on its own
or through PPP near the out skirts of cities near the railway tracks
(prefer in the railway lands), and provide at very nominal cost to
the end users within 300 km radius from the railway siding
unloading yards. In case private agencies operate the all leafs
collected from the roads, parks must be transported free of cost to
the site of duping yard of the private vermin compost
manufacturer, and while choosing private manufacturers,
preference should be given to farmers associations to directly
consume the final product.
This measure not only saves pollution due to burning of dry leaves,
but it also saves use of chemical fertilizers for farming, in addition
creating lively hood through employment to thousands of people,
thus contributing for overall health one from reduction of pollution
due to smoke on burning, one due to reducing chemical fertilizers
Page 44 of 49

for the food grains, horticulture products. This measure is

necessary as transportation cost is big burden for the vemi
compost manufacturers from the cities, and in case cities are with
more greenery like parks, and trees on the sides of roads several
tonnes of dry leaves are collected every day, more no of trees in
the fall/ autumn, and instead of carrying most of the parks, road
sweeping burn the collection at one place.
93) Also complete ban of burning dry leaves, and it should a punishable
offence to burn the dry leafs/ garbage, especially in the RWA,
gated communities.
BANNING WOOD FIRED STOVES IN THE CITIES; CRIMINAL
OFFENCE TO CUT THE TRESS; CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO USE WOOD
FOR FUNERALS
94) Also government must conduct physical survey of use of Stoves for
cooking in every ward wise/ village wise, especially in the slums,
and provide non wood based stoves for the slum dwellers/ low
income group in the cities in the first phase, and to all the rural
people in the second phase, which include solar cooking, electric
cookers, smokeless chulas/ stoves/ small gas cylinders fitted with
stove either free/ on monthly instalment and make it criminal
offence to use the wood fired stoves for cooking in the cities, after
providing the alterative equipment for cooking. This measure is
very necessary as most of the wood fired stoves are in the slums
which are already fully congested and the smoke causes severe
respiratory disorders for the slum dwellers, especially the infants,
children and pregnant women, aged people,
95) Also government must make it mandatory that all wood sellers get
registered with government, and must sell the wood after taking
the end user contact details and on bills; with recording the
purpose of the use of the wood as declared by the end user; Ban
on sale of wood other than furniture making.
96) Also ban on sale of wood even for funerals in the cities in the first
phase and over a period of time in all rural areas. It should be
criminal offence to use wood for funerals which is otherwise
causing pollution to a great extent as several Lakhs of dead bodies
are fired every year, using millions of tonnes of wood, further
causing environmental degradation by cutting millions of grown up
trees and it takes several years to get that growth of tree. As such
government must take bold initiative in this regard. This measure
not only saves several tons of carbon emissions, it also saves
several Lakhs of tress every year thus improving the green cover
on the territory.
Page 45 of 49

97) Also government must make it a criminal offence to cut the trees
(even part of the branches) not only in the public places but also in
all RWA/ Societies and also private independent houses; in case
the trees are causing some disturbance after over grown they
should take the permission of the local municipal/ forest
department officials to cut the branches; in case trees are removed
without permission, it should a non bail able criminal offence. In
case on a vacant plot several trees ore raise and the vacant plot is
going to use for any construction, in the event that the trees un
avoidably need to be axed/ up rooted (with permission from the
forest dept) then the person who owns the property must pay
penalty to ensure trees are raised in the other places. This
measure ensures love for green to the people also protects trees
from indiscriminate cutting in the RWA and societies and other
places, Also it should be the responsibility of the RWA and society
associations to submit online the details of Trees in a stand format
for government maintaining the tress census in the territories. The
maintenance of the trees should be the responsibility of the RWA/
society association. Govt must provide all necessary advices.
The above measure is necessary as due to rapid urbanisation all
the trees are getting axed indiscriminately as a result greenery is
shrinking/ vanishing from the urban areas and urban areas are
turning into concrete jungles.
98) Also mandatory that all the educational institutions, all the office
establishments must raise indoor plants that purify the air in each
and every room/ two plants for every 200 sft built up closed carpet
area. This measure further reduces the effect of pollution in
educational institutes/ commercial office establishments; n addition
government must provide subsidy for raising indoor air purifier
plats to all house hold, this measure will certainly improve the
indoor air in homes, office, but also it relieves stress to certain
extent as green living plants provide pleasant-ness to eyes, as they
have life, also it will provide some exercise to pour water and
caring them daily.
Also government must make it mandatory that all people in at
apartments, independent houses must mandatory rise plants like
Tulsi, Palm trees which provide greenery, sufficient oxygen.
99) Mandatory teaching, making them to practice for few minutes every
day for all students, employees the breathing exercises for
ensuring their lungs are de congested, improve the lung capacity to
inhale for ensuring more volumes of oxygen available for the
metabolism system foe better health of the people

CONCLUSION
Quality air can be made available to people especially living in cities
through fixing root causes of the vehicular pollution; the stringent
measures of issuing driving licence ensures all drivers who drive vehicles
hence forth adhere to optimal driving standards of using clutch, changing
of gears at correct speeds, maintaining correct RPM will certainly reduce
emissions to certain extent, in addition to reduction of accidents; also
fixing the fuel adulteration through continues monitoring ensuring same
quality of fuel that was manufactured at the oil refiners is available to the
vehicles at fuel stations which will certainly reduce further the emissions,
also ensuring periodic maintenance of the vehicle that too only at
registered service centers with qualified/ trained technicians will further
reduce emissions, also ensuring availability of quality spares with ban of
manufacture, sale, use of sub standard spare parts will further reduce
emissions; also ensuring daily check for the fitness of vehicles from tyre
pressure to engine oil, to fuel, battery will further reduce emissions, also
daily maintenance of digital long book ensures the details of vehicle
movement recorded which makes the vehicle owners alerted for periodic
maintenance, also it ensures drivers drive only for 8 hours a day which
improves quality of driving due to less fatigue, also vehicle pooling for
government officials, for all citizens through residence welfare association
further reduce emissions due to less density of vehicles on the roads,
also due to availability of quality roads in city through daily repair
observation/inspection through High resolution CC cameras fitted in
vehicles recording the road conditions and repairing it over night to
ensure smooth roads without any potholes will further reduce emissions
due to less traffic jams, also ensuring depressions for bus bays will
further reduce traffic jams thus help in reducing emissions, also daily
monitoring, lifting of garbage from the garbage bins placed on roads will
also ensure no shrinking of roads, also banning processions whether
marriage, political, funeral or religious, protests on the city streets
further ensures that smooth flow of traffic, also limiting green channel
moment on the roads limit to the prime minister and president of country
and foreign countries will further improve the free flow of traffic without
traffic jams and reduced emissions of several millions of tonnes, due to
the fact few seconds, minutes of stranded traffic during peak hours to
provide green channel movement for one single person leads to several
Lakhs of vehicles movement got slowed down leading to millions of
tonnes of emissions; also limited commercial permit for all Non
passenger vehicles of 2 wheelers, 4 wheelers like APP based radio taxi
will further reduce the density of vehicles on the roads, thus reduces
emissions, in addition to reducing load on the public mass transport
system, also making mandatory that all commercial passenger vehicles
to be under APP based booking with GPS tracking and payments for trips
through mobile valet will certainly be more convenient to passengers,
also more business for commercial passenger vehicle, also a single pre
Page 47 of 49

paid smart card for bus, metro rail, incentives for pre paid card payment
makes ease of travel in public transport, also fixing driving time limit of 8
hours a day along with APP based mandatory commercial operations of
all vehicles after end of duty hours returning empty will create further
availability of transport for citizens, especially in the evening hours, also
continuous tracking of journey of female travellers in the commercial
passenger vehicles will ensure maximum safety for female travellers, also
non-bail-able criminal offence to drive commercial passenger vehicles
after consuming alcohol, tobacco products, drugs etc will further reduce
crimes also improves driving and reduces accidents, also making
alternative day even no odd number vehicles on the cities improves air
quality in cities through drastic reduction of emissions, different colour
bar-coding stickers for identification of even number, odd number,
exempted vehicles also instant exemption for medical emergencies
through SMS request, exemption for doctors, senior citizens, pregnant
women, police, military, emergency services, electronic media OB vans,
will ensure all necessary categories got relived from resection of vehicles
movement in the event of alternate day even no odd no, with automatic
revoking of restrictions of alternative day during natural calamities
ensures by and large public follow the norms of restriction, also making
stricter norms for parking with all parking places under High resolution
CC camera surveillance, with mandatory to get bar coded parking slips
from RTA website by submitting details of vehicle, registration, details of
periodic maintenance, details of periodic pollution check, bar coding
reading machine connected to online real RTA to allow vehicles to park in
all parking places will certainly reduce emissions, traffic violations,
ensure vehicles are maintained periodically, also ensure vehicles undergo
periodic pollution checks, also ensure people will to follow vehicle
restriction norms in the event of alternative day even no, odd no,
vehicles as almost all vehicles has to park somewhere either in the office,
markets or commercial complexes, or bus, rail, airport, without bar
coded parking ticket it is not possible to park the vehicle, if parked un
authrisdly will be liable for heavy penalty will certainly bring a change in
the vehicle owners behaviour, in addition making it mandatory all
associations of commercial passenger, goods vehicles (taxi stands, auto
stands, goods vehicle stand) or ensuring they provide the details of
vehicles in their territory, making it their responsibility to ensure all
commercial vehicles adhere to traffic norms, in addition also making
residents welfare associations, apartment associations partly responsible
for sending population of data of each vehicle owner to RTA, also making
them to ensure that their members follow the traffic, vehicle emission
norms will certainly ensure maximum population of vehicles flow the
pollution emission norms; also mandatory learning of bicycles for
students, incentives for using bicycles, building vertical parking stand for
bicycles and government providing bicycles at nominal rent will ensure
more users of bicycle thus emissions get contained to certain extent, also
restricting distance of educational institutions maximum of 10 km from
Page 48 of 49

home of students, also making penalty of employees travelling more than

15 km to attend workplace from home will further reduce number of Km
of travel, which will lead to substantial reduction of vehicle pollution, also
banning using of personal vehicles for reaching educational institutions
with mandatory for all educational institutions maintain CNG bus/electric
mini vans, all students must travel by bus, bicycle will further reduce the
pollution emissions, which is a great reliever of pollution effect on
students, also incentives for people who voluntarily use the public mode
of transport, incentives for buying bicycles, electric vehicles,; also
incentives for people shifting from faraway places of present residence to
less than 5 km residence near to office / school ensures more people will
shift homes near to work place, thus reducing substantial about of
vehicular movement,
in addition making it a criminal offence to cut
trees, to burn fossils, dead leafs, garbage, also using wood for cooking,
for funerals, also making students to plant a tree every year will certainly
makes more greenery contributing to availability of more oxygen, also
making it mandatory to raise indoor air purifier pants in every class room
in educational institutions, in every office, also subsidies for raising
indoor air purifier plants for residents will further ensure availability of
quality air to people, also making mandatory to teach, learn, practice
breathing exercises will ensure de cognition of chocked lungs, and ensure
lungs capacity got enhance for better & more breathing ensuring more
oxygen available for body leading to healthy life.
The above are immediate measures that will be useful in long run in the
permanent manner, also required is building of bicycle tracks where ever
possible in the existing cities and all future SMART cities must have
bicycle tracks. In addition creation of Central authority for integration of
data of all vehicles, all drivers in the country and issue of fuel through
smart card reading of vehicle registration as well as driving licence will
ensure all standards are maintained, will not only ensure vehicular
emissions are minimal, ensuring healthy living of people, but also
ensures growth of economy of the country, and occurance of sustained
development and inclusive growth of all sections of people in the country.
