Drive against tinted glasses on cars Jammu, June 10 During the last 24 hours, the police team has removed tinted glasses from over 400 cars. Earlier, car owners keen to use tinted glasses could do so after obtaining permission from the SP, Traffic. Under the new regulations, only police officers of the rank of SP or above, ministers and legislators could move about in cars with tinted glasses. This concession had been given on security reasons. However, in the Kashmir valley, the old order was still in force. Those who had secured permission from the SP, Traffic, were allowed to use tinted glasses in their cars. The police was awaiting instructions from senior government functionaries. In the meantime, the drive against tinted glasses had been intensified. An officer of the rank of Secretary in a government department too was asked today to remove tinted glasses from his official car. Of late, matador drivers too had started using tinted glasses, which had now been removed. The drive also covered misuse of red lights in cars used by sons of legislators and bureaucrats. The most disappointed car owners were those using cars as bars. A section of the youth belonging to the affluent class, who used to consume liquor while driving, would have to devise new ideas now. |
