Old cars for sale in the old car market in Delhi. Jagran Archive
State Bureau, New Delhi. In view of the bomb blast near the Red Fort, on one hand the Delhi government has asked to prepare a list of fertilizer sellers, while on the other hand it has made registration of dealers selling secondhand (old) cars mandatory. Dealers have also been instructed to maintain records of all the cars that have been bought, sold or are to be bought and sold by them.
Second hand cars are traded on a large scale in Delhi. But as per rules no one has a license yet. Let us tell you that sensitive chemical ammonium nitrate is also used in fertilizer. Some time ago, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena had asked the government to collect digital information of people storing and selling ammonium nitrate.
Ammonium nitrate was used in the blast
In fact, ammonium nitrate is also included in many chemicals used in the manufacture of agricultural fertilizers. It was used in the Red Fort blast. After the blast it is being taken seriously. Ammonium nitrate is a white crystalline solid, whose main use is in agriculture as a high nitrogen fertilizer, which provides immediate nutrition to plants.
Its other uses include rock breaking in construction and mining related explosives. After the explosion near the Red Fort, on the instructions of the Delhi Government, the Home Department has ordered the Agriculture Wing of the Development Department to collect information about all the licensed agricultural fertilizer sellers in the capital.
This step has been taken for data-based monitoring of sale, storage and use of agricultural fertilizers. Now dealers will have to provide daily digital records of storage and sale of sensitive chemical ammonium nitrate to the government.
On the other hand, the decision on registration of dealers selling secondhand cars has been taken under the amendment made in Rule 55 of the Motor Vehicles Corporation (CMBR), 1989.
More than 3500 cars including big and small in Delhi
According to estimates, there are more than 3500 car markets in Delhi, including small and big ones. But till now no seller has a license here. More than 1000 old vehicles are bought and sold here every day.
