Haryana Police announced a new crackdown targeting HSRP violations and unauthorized tampered number plates across the state.
Haryana Police has unveiled a comprehensive campaign to curb violations of the Haryana State Road Transport (HSRP) regulations, focusing on the use of unauthorized and tampered vehicle number plates. The initiative, announced by senior police officials, aims to enforce strict compliance with the state’s vehicle registration laws.
Under the new directive, police units will conduct systematic inspections and checks at key checkpoints and along major highways. Vehicles found with non-compliant plates will face immediate penalties, including fines and potential suspension of registration.
The crackdown is part of a broader effort to improve road safety and reduce fraudulent vehicle registrations that can hamper law enforcement and traffic management. Police spokespersons emphasized that the operation will be carried out with full legal backing and will involve coordination with transport authorities.
Officials also urged vehicle owners to ensure their number plates meet the HSRP standards and to report any suspicious or altered plates they encounter. The campaign is expected to run for several months, with periodic reviews to assess its impact on road safety and compliance.
