The Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Kashmir has issued a reminder to the public, stating that vehicles complying with BS-III emission norms will not be registered in accordance with the prevailing pollution norm policy. The RTO has urged citizens to avoid unnecessary visits to their offices for registering such vehicles.

In an effort to curb air pollution and promote cleaner transport solutions, the Indian government has implemented stringent emission norms over the years. Currently, vehicles must adhere to the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards, which ensure reduced emissions of harmful pollutants.

BS-III vehicles, which meet an earlier set of emission standards, are no longer eligible for registration in compliance with the pollution control policies. RTO Kashmir has emphasized that these vehicles cannot be registered and has requested citizens to refrain from making unnecessary rounds to their offices for this purpose.

This reminder from the RTO serves as a clarification to avoid confusion among vehicle owners who may still possess BS-III compliant vehicles. To align with environmental conservation efforts, it is essential for individuals to understand and adhere to the prevailing norms governing vehicle registrations.

The RTO has advised citizens to explore alternative options such as upgrading their vehicles to meet BS-VI standards or considering environmentally friendly modes of transport. The promotion of electric vehicles and other sustainable transportation solutions has gained momentum, with various incentives being offered to encourage their adoption.

As the authorities prioritize environmental preservation and sustainable development, it is crucial for the public to stay informed and comply with the prevailing regulations. Citizens are encouraged to seek guidance from the RTO’s official communication channels or visit their website for up-to-date information regarding vehicle registration and related matters.

The RTO Kashmir seeks the cooperation of the public in their efforts to reduce vehicular pollution and create a cleaner and healthier environment for all residents.
