Illegal Number Plates Under Scanner

The traffic department said non-standard, obscured and artistic number plates can make it difficult for law enforcement agencies to identify vehicles.

Such plates can pose particular challenges while tracking stolen vehicles, monitoring speed violations and investigating road accidents through automated CCTV camera networks.

Drive To Continue Until October 14

Police said the special enforcement campaign will continue until October 14.

Traffic personnel are expected to intensify surprise checks and vehicle detentions in the coming weeks, along with action against motorists found violating number plate and other traffic regulations.
