JAMMU, Oct 13: Black-tinted films, in violation of traffic norms, are being used on vehicles here.
Caring two hoots for the established rules, the violators also seem to be indifferent towards the fact that the state was grappling with menace of cross-border terrorism.

As per the rule book use of dark, black or reflective glasses in vehicles is not permitted. As provided in Rule 100 of Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, the glass of windscreen and rear window of motor vehicles should have a visibility of at least 70 per cent and that of side windows a minimum visibility of 50 per cent.

It important to mentioned that the most of the Ministers and bureaucrats have their vehicles black mirrored in the state. Interestingly, the politicians’ kith and kins are mostly the big violators.

Strangely the concerned authorities have many times removed black films on the common vehicles and get charged them. All the bureaucrat’s vehicles have black mirror other than some vehicles also have without registration numbers and the department aware such things but they cannot take any step for stopped them.

A person, driving a car with black tinted glasses, when asked, replied that nobody ever objected to its use. “Otherwise, I would have definitely taken it off,” he added.

Recently the traffic department has announced not to give permission to anyone for black film mirror and pressure horns. But the politician’s kin-pin and low rank officials are violating the rules with impunity.

Pardeep Singh residential of Talab Tillo said that the rules and regulations only meant for the local people while the rich go scot free. The department who maintain law and orders they also break the laws and regulation by stopped those people who hike their voice against such things.

Everybody aware of such things the concerned authorities not taking any step against the politicians for implement this order, he added.

However when contacted, Inspector General of Police (IG) Traffic, HK Lohia said that the traffic police continued to remove the black films on vehicles mirror and the department also discussion on them so implement ban on those people, who sell the pressure horns and black films as soon.

He further said that if the security forces getting permission to anyone than the department is no objection against them otherwise the officials not spare to anyone for making black mirror and pressure horns of his vehicles if anyone ignored this rules the department also take legal step.
