Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday said the government is working on a carpooling app to reduce pollution caused by vehicular emissions.
An overhaul of the pollution under control (PUC) certificate-issuing centres and the development of an integrated traffic management system are also under way, he added.
“There is no system in place right now for carpooling. We are trying to make an app for it, which is easy to download and use,” Mr. Sirsa said while addressing the media.
He said many shortcomings have been observed at the PUC certificate-issuing centres, which are over 15 years old. “We are overhauling the PUC centres. This will include a provision for third-party audits,” the Minister said.
