Nearly 2 lakh heavy diesel vehicles more than 15 years old will not be allowed to ply in the city from Sunday. 
●    They cannot be parked here either. 
●    The transport department has drawn up a list of 1.91 lakh such vehicles that it has deregistered on the orders of the National Green Tribunal. 
●    Senior government officials said the list had been sent to the traffic police late Friday night, with instructions to impound them immediately. 
●    The list has details of the vehicles, including owner's name, registration number and address. It also specifies the RTO where the vehicle was registered. 
●    The transport department has identified 21 locations where the impounded vehicles will be kept but that might not be enough to park nearly two lakh vehicles. 
●    Traffic officers say they have requested the government to provide additional land space. 
●    As of now, the traffic pits can accommodate only 1,000-1,200 heavy vehicles at a time.
