He said vehicles of Union or Central government ministers and Leaders of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha will also be exempted along with vehicles of Chief Ministers of all the states/UTs except the Chief Minister of Delhi. “Vehicles of Judges of Supreme Court of India, of Chairperson of Union Public Service Commission, of Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioner, and Vehicles of Comptroller and Auditor General of India will be exempted.” The vehicles of Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Chief Justice and Judges of Delhi High Court, Lokayukta and emergency Vehicles such as Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Hospital, Prison and Hearse Vehicles will also be exempted.
