Traffic Police City Jammu seized over 150 vehicles which were plying without having High Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) in last 2-3 days.
The special traffic nakas were established on daily basis in different parts of the city led by DySPs concerned under the supervision of Additional SP Traffic Raj Paul Singh and seizure drives were conducted under the supervisions of Dr Koshal Sharma, SSP Traffic City Jammu.
The seizure drive was closely monitored by Vivek Gupta DIG Traffic Range Jammu and Vikramjit Singh IGP Traffic J&K.
Dr Koshal Sharma SSP Traffic said that it is mandatory for vehicles to have high security number plates and further added that HSRPs have helped to reduce the number of vehicle thefts and also identify the stolen vehicles and can prevent misuse of stolen vehicles by ANEs.
“The idea of the special drive is to sensitise commuters about the importance of HSRP. An in-built chip on the HSRP helps in scanning the records of the vehicles and the number plate also reflects better at night,” said Raj Paul Singh Additional SP Traffic.
SSP Traffic City Jammu told that such drives are an ongoing process and advisory regarding HSRP number plates has already been issued by the Transport Commissioner earlier wherein it was urged upon drivers to install the HSRPs by 15 June.
SSP has again appealed to the general public to get their vehicles fitted with HSRPs who have not done till now.
“Since last 2-3 days we have seized nearly 150 vehicles in different parts of Jammu including Patta Bohri, Talab Tillo, Satwari, Kunjwani, Narwal, Paloura, Bantalab Janipur, Ambphalla etc”, SSP said.
