These vehicles will no longer be seen on Bihar road after the state government moved to strictly enforce a High Court order banning unsafe and unregistered vehicles. The transport department has started preparations to remove such vehicles from highways, city roads, and rural routes.
The ban mainly targets “jugaad” vehicles. People often build these makeshift vehicles using diesel pumps, bike parts, and carts. They operate without registration, permits, insurance, or fitness certificates.
Transport officials say these vehicles pose serious risks. They cause frequent accidents, increase air pollution, and disrupt traffic flow. Victims also struggle to get compensation after accidents because these vehicles have no legal status.
District transport officers have received instructions to launch inspection drives. Authorities will seize banned vehicles and take legal action against operators who violate motor vehicle laws.
The government has also appealed to people who depend on these vehicles for income. Officials advised them to shift to legal transport options under government schemes.
Schemes such as the Gram Transport Yojana and Mukhyamantri Transport Scheme offer subsidies to buy approved vehicles. The government says these programs can help drivers earn safely while following the law.
Officials stressed that road safety remains the top priority. These vehicles will no longer be seen on Bihar road, and enforcement will continue across the state.
