Here’s a concise summary of today’s news: Several government departments are benefiting from new policies that waive fines, giving them a lighter financial burden. For instance, Sharjah’s Executive Council has erased all traffic fines older than 10 years (with a Dh1,000 processing fee and exemptions for death, permanent departure, or abandoned vehicles) . Additionally, Gujarat’s transport authorities will waive outstanding penalties, compounding charges, interest, and even entire taxes on vehicles over eight years old—provided they’re officially scrapped at registered facilities—while also offering rebates and incentives for electric vehicle purchases . These measures aim to help overdue departments and individuals ride “cheaper waves” by reducing historical liabilities and promoting cleaner, more sustainable practices.
