"We have given them 20 days to register their vehicles," added Singh. "If they will fail to comply, the unregistered e-rickshaws will be seized.”
The city's traffic police, in a meeting on June 14 that involved District Magistrate BN Singh, had announced that none of the illegal e-rickshaws would be allowed to run on Noida's roads.
“There are about 1,500 e-rickshaws plying on Noida roads, of which only 400 have been registered with the transport department,” said a Noida transport department official.
Anup Kumar, an e-rickshaw driver, told City Spidey that many drivers were unable to register their vehicles for lack of documents such as sales tax certificates and insurance.
