PEOPLE SHOULD COOPERATE
It has been seen that despite many advisories and warnings there is a section of people in the Union Territory which is unmoved on the issue of fixing High Security Number Plates (HSNP) on their vehicles leading to many crimes and even helping terrorists to give shape to their nefarious designs without getting noticed as using vehicles with old style number plates has no provision to zero-down the persons involved in violence mongering. It is intriguing that despite so many advantages of the new system of tagging vehicles with enhanced security features some people are showing reluctance and are continuing with the same old number plates. Now the police has ordered legal action against the defaulters creating a buzz among the stubborn commuters as strict action has been proposed against those not complying with the new rule of installing HSNPs. The strictness followed a case of misuse of a scooty by an active terrorist in Kashmir Valley. Consequently, the police has warned of “legal action” against those motorists who fail to ensure both front and rear High Security Number Plates (HSNPs) in their vehicles. Police has also asked the people to check from the nearest Police Station credentials of person(s) with whom they enter into any deal regarding sale or purchase of the vehicles including two-wheelers. It is advisable that people should follow the directions of the police because compliance of this order will end ambiguity and there will be no danger of any kind of shabby deal or misuse of vehicles because unlike normal number plates, the HSNPs cannot be replaced due to special kind of locks used for fixing the same on the vehicles. This security feature is quite helpful in stopping the misuse of number plates and therefore there is no fun in not listening to government orders in context with HSNPs as by simply installing the same many crimes can be stopped without much difficulty and it becomes easy to locate the vehicles in case of theft. In nut shell, not fixing the aforesaid number plates is not a good idea and therefore people should ponder and go for it as soon as possible to ensure hassle free driving and safety of vehicles.
