LAHORE – The Punjab government has extended deadline for vehicles emissions tests till August 31.
Earlier, deadline for getting green stickers after getting vehicles tested for emissions was June 30.
Punjab Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Director General Dr Imran Hamid Sheikh said that the deadline has been extended due to extra ordinary rush of vehicles at emissions testing booths.
EPA has carried out emission tests of 1,23,000 vehicles during the last 50 days. Warning was issued to 2,000 vehicles for excessive emissions. Owners were asked to bring vehicles again after taking measures to bring emissions within required parameters. It is to be noted that the vehicles manufactured in 2022 and after that are exempted from the emission tests.
