Thiruvananthapuram: The government is considering amendments in the rules of the Kerala motorized vehicle, making it mandatory for vehicles that eliminate waste to secure permits from the local body concerned, said Transportation Minister Antony Raju said in the Assembly.
Replying to the movement of attention to MLA Anwar Sadath at the disposal of illegal waste in public by institutions that have taken contracts for the removal of waste, Raju said the government also considered changing the rules to provide separate colors for the vehicle.
He said that disposing of garbage in public places is to create serious health and environmental problems.
He said that there was a part in MV ACT, 1988, to take action against the vehicle.
In accordance part 190 (2), everyone who pushes or causes or allows it to be encouraged, in public vehicle public places, which violates the standards specified in relation to road safety, control of noise and air pollution, must be punished for the first violation with a fine of RS 1,000 And for a second or further violation with a fine of RS 2,000.
The minister said that there are also provisions to suspend the vehicle license.
Raju said that even though permits for train goods were provided based on section 79 of the law, it did not specifically talk about vehicles carrying garbage.
Previously, Sadat said that when the disposal of illegal waste material was questioned, those involved in such activities behaved like thugs.
He demanded that the license and permit of the contract vehicle used for these activities must be canceled and the actions must be taken against those involved.
