Govt plans incentives if vehicles older than 15 years are scrapped
Bengaluru, June 27: On the lines of Delhi government, the state government is mulling to announce the incentives if the owners of the diesel vehicles older than 15 years scrapped their vehicles.
Speaking to reporters at the Vikasa Soudha, Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister R Shankar said that if the diesel vehicles above 15 years of old were scrapped, the government would give Rs 30,000 incentive to the owners. Both Departments of Transport and Ecology have announced that they would jointly give Rs 30,000 incentive to the owner of the diesel vehicle if it was scrapped. But there was a demand to increase the amount to Rs 60,000, he said.
Among the most polluted cities in the world, the cities of the country have also got the places. So, if the incentive was increased to Rs 50,000, then the owners of the old vehicles could come forward to scrap their vehicles, he said.

Devendra Fadnavis plays video of Islamic scholar at Pune rally, harps on 'vote jihad'
Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.
It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.
"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.
"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
