Delhi transport department officials on Wednesday said they have decided to stop the lifting of parked overage (end of life) vehicles from Delhi in wake of a letter written by transport minister Kailash Gahlot for the same.

The officials, however, clarified that they are yet to receive the letter from the minister but when they were apprised of the same, they decided to stop lifting parked overage vehicles.

A senior transport department official said the crackdown against overage vehicles which are plying will continue.

“We will continue the crackdown on overage vehicles which are plying in the national Capital as they are not allowed to run according to rules,” said the official.
