The Greater Chennai Traffic Police (GCTP) has warned of action against motorists with unauthorised stickers on vehicles from May 2.
The GCTP said the display of government department identities in the form of stickers or any symbol/marks on a private vehicle or its number plate could have a negative impact on the individual and the departments concerned. Mostly, stickers with names of departments or institutions such as ‘PRESS’, ‘Secretariat’, ‘TNEB’, ‘GCC’, ‘DEFENCE’, and ‘POLICE’ can be seen on private vehicles in the city.
Such affiliations displayed on private vehicles could compromise operational efficiency and safety and could lead to the misuse of the department’s reputation, the GCTP said in a press release. In addition, many private vehicles also have symbols or logos/emblems depicting a political party, doctors, or advocates. The GCTP has give motorists till May 1 to remove such stickers.
From May 2, strict action will be taken against the violators and cases will be booked under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
