Chief secretary SK Srivastava was clear that the e-rickshaws cannot be allowed to ply without any norms. "It is a question of human lives and we cannot play with that. It is important to have norms to regulate the e-rickshaws and we will abide by the court orders. We have not yet received the orders and would plan our action in keeping with the directive," he told TOI. The secretary, transport, Satbir Silas Bedi said an action plan will be drawn up after the department studies the court order.
According to sources, the administration's restraint in the matter stems from the fact that the Central government has been pushing for legalizing e-rickshaws by amending the Motor Vehicles Act and taking them out of its ambit. However, it will be difficult for them not to implement the court order.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police, along with traffic police, not only plans to impound the vehicles if found plying on the roads but also intends to book them under IPC sections. They will be invoking sections like rash and negligent driving (279) and act endangering others' lives (336) apart from imposing section 188 for violation of court orders if they are found even parked at roadside.
"We will deploy our forces at their maximum strength to keep these vehicles off the roads as soon as we get orders from the transport department," said Muktesh Chander, special CP, traffic. He said drives will be conducted in areas having the maximum concentration of these vehicles. The cops might even make a list of owners who run these rickshaws in a cartel and ask them to hand over the vehicles.
"We will be directly registering FIRs against the drivers since now after the order these vehicles are officially classified non-registered motor vehicles which is punishable under the criminal laws," said Anil Shukla, joint CP, traffic.
The traffic police had prosecuted 137 e-rickshaws for reckless driving between April and June before the government's decision to come up with a plan to register these vehicles. The cops said they will also discourage commuters from boarding these vehicles near Metro stations.
However, the traffic cops are in a fix about where to keep the e-rickshaws after impounding them since there are more than a lakh plying in the city. There are also no registration numbers or names of owners on the vehicles that could allow the cops to even take them to the traffic pits which store vehicles that have been impounded under a specific law.
As an interim measure, the traffic cops will ask the police stations to keep these vehicles with temporary markings. The police are %also contemplating using open grounds like Ramlila Maidan to hold these vehicles till further orders from the court.
