Mysuru: Queues extending for more than one hour, squabbles over waiting time and hundreds of vehicles being checked for emissions — a week after the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019, came into force, pollution checking centres in Mysuru have seen a sudden surge in customers.
Today being a Sunday, there was extra rush as people were eager to get their “Pollution Under Check” (PUC) Certificate today itself to avoid coughing up a huge amount as fine. There is a three-fold increase in the number of vehicles taking the tests at centres, and this is because the penalty amount for violating emission norms has also increased multi-fold.
