Cops hold special campaign against missing registration number plates

Continuing its ongoing efforts to ensure road safety and compliance with the traffic rules, the Ludhiana Commissionerate Police carried out a special traffic enforcement drive over the past week, targeting vehicles plying without registration number plates or with number plates not conforming to the prescribed norms.

During the drive, police teams were deployed at key junctions and busy stretches under the supervision of senior officials. They checked two-wheelers and four-wheelers to ensure that registration number plates were properly displayed as per the guidelines laid down under the Motor Vehicles Act.

A total of 882 challans were issued during the drive to violators using vehicles either without number plates or with fancy, illegible, tinted or stylised plates. Such violations not only obstruct identification of vehicles in case of offences but also pose challenges in maintaining road discipline and public safety.

Commissioner of Police Swapan Sharma said the city police were committed to enforcing all provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act strictly and ensuring visible deterrence against violations. He appealed to vehicle owners to follow the prescribed standards for number plates and avoid any form of modification or concealment that violates legal requirements.

Such special drives will be continued in coming days to promote responsible driving behaviour and compliance with traffic laws across the city.
