They suggest automated testing facility that can screen out unfit vehicles
Expressing serious concerns over the newly issued scrappage policy of the Union government, the national and State-level leaders of the All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners’ Association (AICGVOA) have directly approached the Union Ministry of State for Road Transport and Highways for a favourable amendment.
Instead of the straight dismantling of all goods vehicles more than 15 years old, they have proposed to introduce an automated testing facility that can easily screen out all unfit ones and thus implement the plan of the Union government without affecting the livelihood of a majority in the sector.

‘It will displace hapless entrepreneurs depending on inter-State services’
The latest vehicle scrappage policy announced in the Union Budget has irked a section of lorry operators who have alleged that the “thoughtless rule” will displace many hapless entrepreneurs who earn a living by operating inter-State truck services amid rising fuel and maintenance costs.
They argued that the dismantling of 15-year-old vehicles, which were recently fitted with costly GPS devices on a government directive, was hardly a possible option for operators, and that they would be compelled to launch an indefinite strike seeking revision of the proposal.
