In a bizarre show of love, a woman spent hours leaving 3,400 lipstick marks on her partner’s car, leading him to pay a ₹ 5,500 fine and receive an order to remove the marks in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior.
‘Delhi Traffic Police enforcement drive’
A senior Delhi Traffic Police officer said a vehicle owner cannot freely alter a vehicle after purchasing it from a manufacturer, news agency PTI reported. Traffic police traced the vehicle after it had been on the road for two days and imposed a fine on its owner under the Motor Vehicles Act. The incident has highlighted motor vehicle laws, especially in the national capital, and the modifications and practices that can land vehicle owners in trouble. Among the most common violations of the Motor Vehicles Act is tinting of glasses. Recently, the Delhi Traffic Police conducted a week-long citywide enforcement drive targeting violations that pose a serious threat to the safety of motorists, pedestrians and other road users. The enforcement campaign also focused on e-rickshaws operating at congestion-prone locations.
Traffic police issued 7,298 challans to e-rickshaw drivers for various violations and impounded 63 vehicles for offences warranting such action.
Black films or extra tinting are prohibited, according to Delhi Traffic Police. The traffic police said it would also launch a citywide operation to identify and take action against vehicles that fail to comply with prescribed norms.
