The Citizen’s Voice president, in the letter to the Union Minister, Nitin Gadkari requested that the abandonment of the old vehicle scheme is withdrawn.
Coimbatore: The Citizen’s Voice Coimbatore wrote to the Union Minister, Nitin Gadkari seeking abandonment of the old vehicle withdrawal scheme.
The Citizen’s Voice Coimbatore President Jayaraman, in his letter to the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister, stated that “There has been news stating the vehicles that are being run for more than 15 years might be withdrawn by the center. The registering fee will also be increased 8 times, which is shocking and painful for vehicle users,” the letter read.
Furthermore, the letter stated that “With the country facing a pandemic, this would not be a feasible idea, and the poor are yet to figure out a way of living with the economic slowdown. Every common man now has a necessity of a four-wheeler or two-wheeler. Also, the move will only benefit monopoly capitalists and big business centers.”
“Based on the existing cultural customs in our country, if one owns a bicycle, a two-wheeler, or a four-wheeler, they are maintained and used well for up to 20 or 30 years. However, it would be advisable for the central government to direct the manufacturers and provide proper maintenance at a low cost to continue operating vehicles that are being used for more than 15 years,” the letter stated.
The letter ended on a positive note stating “We hope that the Government of India will consider our above view and take appropriate action.”
