LAHORE: The Environmental Protection Agency of Punjab has decided to ban vehicles without Green Stickers after November 15 across the province as part of a crackdown against the causes of air pollution.
Director General of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dr. Imran Hamid Sheikh, said that exhaust testing has been made mandatory for all vehicles in Lahore.
He stated that from November 15, any vehicle found on the road without an Exhaust Testing System (ETS) certificate or a green sticker will be impounded.
“Only vehicles meeting Punjab’s environmental standards will be permitted to operate on the roads,” he added. The EPA has reminded motorists that both emissions and noise testing are compulsory.
