The city's transport commissioner Ashish Kundra requestedadvised owners of overage vehicles to get an NOC and sell their vehicles in a state where they are fit to ply. “If the vehicles will be found plying or parked on city roads, they will run the risk of being bound down and handed over to the scrapper," he said during an interaction with PTI.
