Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 8: The vehicles of the State Motor Garages are playing mischief with the law, by changing the number plates on the government vehicles.
It can be clearly seen in the picture that a Chevrolet Tavera of the state National Garage has tampered its front number plate. On the rear number plate of the vehicle, the registration number is JK02AH-9246 and on the front number plate it is JK01AH-9246.
The vehicle seems to be using the registration number of two different districts of the state, however the department has denied mischief arguing it to be a mistake in printing, but the department remained tight-lipped over the requirement of pasting the computerized printed number on the existing number plate.
The sources informed that the drivers of the government vehicles change the number plates when they cross the Jawahar tunnel, for their own convenience. But no one can identify the vehicle in case of accidents or hit and run incident involving government vehicle.
Sources at Regional transport office (RTO) Jammu informed that the government vehicles are playing with the law, as they know that the traffic cops will not ask them for their documents. Many of the old vehicles are running without paying token tax to the RTO. |
