Starting Jan 1, colour-coded e-rickshaws to ply on city roads

Police in Lucknow, India, plan to colour-code battery-operated rickshaws based on the zones they operate in to better regulate their numbers. E-rickshaw owners will have to fill in a new form and provide details such as routes, Aadhaar, PAN and criminal history to create a database. The move also aims to eliminate instances of minors driving these vehicles. The city has been divided into 16 zones, and the rickshaws will be seized if they operate outside their designated zone.

Their colours will be defined by the zones they operate in. The move, authorities hope, will help in keeping a check on their surging numbers. (File)
