Pollution tests are a joke in Nepal. While the
government standards for carbon monoxide by volume
emissions for three-wheelers is three,
the company standard is four-and-a-
half. Effectively, this should put all
three-wheelers off the roads, but this is
not so. Quite simply, bribery rules the
day. Romendra Singh Deuja, a divisional
superintendent of police in charge of the
emission tests by traffic police, admits to
several cases where bribes were attempted to obtain the
green sticker. Meanwhile, three-wheeler owners are
protesting the stringent government standard and say it is
too high.
