Mysuru: “Whether to contest from Badami or not, this decision will be taken by party high command. I am just a Chief Minister of a state, not the high command,” Siddaramaiah clarified.

Talking to reporters at his residence in TK Layout in Mysuru on Thursday, Siddaramaiah said, neither I nor the people of Badami have any confusion regarding Badami constituency. This is you who are creating confusion. All confusions will be cleared on April 23 or 24, he said.

“I will start my state tour from 26th of this month. I will be canvassing only in those places where competition is tougher,” chief minister added.

Speaking about the ticket denial for sitting MLAs, Siddaramaiah said, “Ticket will be issued to HP Rajesh of Jagaluru. For remaining candidates party high command will decide.”

Congress leaders R Dhruvanarayan, Hinkal Prakash, Marigauda, Somashekhar, BB Sitaram, HA Venkatesh, B Siddaraju, R Murthy and others were present with the chief minister.

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Transport Department has mandated vehicle owners in the National Capital Territory to affix colour-coded stickers on their vehicles to help identify fuel types to combat rising pollution levels.

According to a public notice issued by the department, the directive is in line with the Supreme Court's order dated August 12, 2018, and subsequent amendments to Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.

The vehicle owners in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi will now be required to install chromium-based hologram stickers, the notice read.

The colour-coded stickers are designed to assist enforcement personnel in visually identifying a vehicle's fuel type during road checks.

The rule applies to both new vehicles, effective from April 1, 2019, and old vehicles, registered before March 31, 2019. Vehicle owners must ensure the stickers are affixed on their windscreens to comply with legal requirements, it said.

Owners of older vehicles are advised to contact their respective vehicle dealers for sticker installation, it read.

Additionally, an online booking facility is available for home installation of High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) along with the fuel-based colour-coded stickers through the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) website or via the Transport Department's portal, the statement said.

Non-compliance will attract penalties under the Motor Vehicles Act and Rules, and vehicle owners are urged to act promptly to avoid prosecution and ensure their vehicles meet the regulatory standards, it added.

The stickers contain details like the registration number, registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the engine and chassis numbers of the vehicles.
