Such vehicles entering Lucknow have raised concerns about traffic congestion and possible accidents on the outskirts of the city. To this end, Jacob has asked officials to confiscate the licence of the drivers of vehicles with fake permits. Owners of such vehicles will also be taken to task. In addition, vehicles with permits from the Lucknow RTO will be colour-coded differently so that they are more easily distinguished.
