Goswami has further asked the department to establish a separate unit for commercial vehicles to avoid any harassment of the vehicle owner.

The vendor will operate a separate counter for corporate operators having at least 10 vehicles or more in their name.

"It has also been decided to request all vehicle owners to deposit fee for such number plates at least seven to ten days in advance from the date of expiry of fitness, so that numberplates will be ready on the day of fitness test for installation. In case of DTC and cluster buses, the high security number plates will be fixed at the depots to avoid congestion and crowding at Burari Fitness Center," said a senior official.
