The Punjab government has declared that motorbike owners will soon have to get a fitness certificate for their vehicles in an effort to improve road safety and lower pollution.
Motorcycles will now have to meet the same regulations as private vehicles.
Moreover, it will need to undergo a technical inspection to make sure it meets safety standards under the new rule, which is anticipated to go into effect soon.
The motorcycle owners must abide by the fitness certificate's one-year validity after it is approved in order to keep their vehicles operating lawfully.
In order to manage the high volume of motorcycles, the Transport Department is now developing a plan to smoothly implement the new regulation, which calls for the establishment of specific inspection stations.
This move is a component of a larger plan to control Punjab's transport system.
Additionally, vehicles equipped with illegal LPG cylinders are being targeted by the government's special enforcement squads, which are tasked with inspecting public vehicles that use LPG.
Strict measures are also being taken against workshops engaged in illegal activities.
Although some residents are worried about the possible inconvenience of getting a fitness certificate, officials think it's an essential step to update the transportation system and encourage better two-wheeler maintenance.
The implementation of motorcycle fitness certifications is expected to improve road safety generally and lower the number of accidents, according to the authorities.
To guarantee a seamless transition, motorbike owners are encouraged to remain up-to-date on the requirements and procedure for obtaining a fitness certificate.
