He said that this act is offered under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 shall continue to be taken against the vehicles running in violations of the Act. 

He said that the Punjab Pollution Control Board has already banned the registrations of new diesel or petrol three-wheelers in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Fatehgarh Sahib and Mohali districts. The process of the ban on autos is going on in Patiala and Bathinda districts.
