Hyderabad, Aug.22 (Maxim News): The City Traffic Police today clarified that there is a false news being spread by a few persons in social media that the Telangana High Court has ordered that the “traffic police have no powers to seize the vehicles for non-payment of challans”.
It is clarified here that there is no such order of the High Court and that some persons with reasons best known to them have been issuing misleading statements in the media and social media creating confusion among the public.
