The Delhi Traffic Police have fined over 140 cement concrete mixing carriers in the past week during a special drive across the national Capital against such vehicles for hiding their number plates to avoid prosecution.
According to Muktesh Chander, the Special Commissioner of Police, Traffic, 149 cement concrete carriers were issued challans in the last one week and legal action will also be taken against truck drivers if they are caught with such improper number plates.
“Police have observed that, cement concrete mixers hide number plates of their vehicles to avoid prosecution in cases of red light jumping, over-speeding and accidents so that they do not get caught on CCTV cameras and even if they get captured, it would be difficult to identify them because of their improper number plates,” said the Special CP.
“So, a special drive was conducted and 149 such cement concrete carriers were prosecuted in the last one week. We have noticed that prosecution increases with compliance of traffic laws,” he added.
