Having earlier lauded the Centre’s contribution towards reducing the pollution in Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi Chief Minister (CM) Arvind Kejriwal has now lauded the new Motor Vehicles Amendment Act passed by the Centre.
"There has been an improvement in Delhi's traffic ever since the new Motor Vehicle Act has been implemented. If there is any clause due to which people are facing more problem and we have the power (to) reduce the fine then we will certainly do it," the AAP leader said as reported by ANI.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
