No insurance, no fuel? Supreme Court seeks Centre's plan to stop fuel sales to uninsured vehicles
The Supreme Court of India ordered the Centre to devise a plan to stop fuel sales to uninsured vehicles, noting that 56% of vehicles lack valid insurance. The court directed the implementation of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to issue e-challans to uninsured vehicles and proposed handheld devices for traffic police to check insurance status. This initiative aims to expedite compensation for accident victims and ensure compliance with mandatory insurance requirements.
