Future of Motorcycle Scrappage Bill Unclear

The Department of Environment said a bill calling for scrappage of dilapidated motorcycles has been shelved by the government.
Although the bill was ratified by the Majlis last September, local motorcycle producers in cahoots with the Ministry of Industries sent a letter to the legislature requesting it withdraw the bill. 
Implementation of the bill has been postponed at least for a year, Vahid Hosseini, secretary of National Air Pollution Reduction Taskforce affiliated with the DOE said.
