Hyderabad Police: Special Drive on tinted glasses and wrong number plates
Hyderabad Police | A special drive will be taken up from June 18 by the Hyderabad Traffic Police against those using tinted glass and irregular number plates on their vehicles.
Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) A V Ranganathan said violations of tinted glass, disfigured number plates and temporary registration numbers were leading to criminal activities.
“A special drive will be taken up from June 18 onwards. Cases will be booked against those found violating MV Act rules and charge sheets will be filed in court,” he said, adding that persons who purchase new vehicles should get them registered with the Road Transport Authority and get a permanent number within one month.

“In a few instances, we found vehicle owners using the TR number for months at a stretch,” Ranganath said.
It is to mention here that the Hyderabad Traffic department found that several vehicles (both two and four wheelers) in Hyderabad do not follow the guidelines listed under the Motor Vehicles Act, especially with regard to number plates.
‘In some cases, the size of the number plate is not in accordance with the prescribed, and many vehicle owners have tampered with the numbers and alphabets to avoid detection by Traffic Police and escape challans’, cops said.
