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

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

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

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

Pl adopt, follow patented concept 1086/MUM/2012; WO 2013164848 providing method to run roads, rail tracks & ways themselves with aid of solar & wind energy. The ways will carry loaded vehicles, passengers, goods without their being need to drive individual conveyances. It will be fuel less public transport system fully integrating private conveyances, as well. Thus, no need of driving, no burning of fuel, no pollution, no accidents. Cost of tracks, electricity together will be less than half.

people should plant the tress specially neem, peepal and banayan tree for clean air. All the trees should plant along the road side of a city. And government should banned the diesel segment car for the private use.(only tree will give us the pollution environment)

Most of the vehicle runs on Monday to Friday and on Saturday and Sunday roads are empty. We can adjust the weekly off days in between Mon to Fri for different pvt. and govt. offices.

Benefit: In my case, currently in weekdays (Mon-Fri) my car takes 1 hour to reach office due to rush and jam and when I go to office in weekend it takes only 25-35 minutes. So engine will reduce the emission by 50% by this practice. Traffic problem will also reduce by it.

why cant we produce the vehicle which is not polluting the environment? can we have the money/time for research?
Always, we need to increase the food production when the population increased instead of stopping birth. The same way we need to follow here.
