Vehicles without high security plates will be fined UP starting today

Vehicles without High Security Number Plates (HSRP) will be fined Rs 5,000 in the state of Uttar Pradesh starting today. THE Traffic Police of Noida is launching a campaign to crack down on vehicles that don’t yet sport a HSRP. A similar action will be carried out in Ghaziabad. In a letter to the police chiefs of UP districts, the Uttar Pradesh Police directed the launching of an execution campaign and the imposition of fines on the defaulters.
High security number plates are mandatory in India. All vehicles sold before April 2019 must be installed with HSRP. The mandate was introduced with the aim of improving safety and the reduction of car theft.

In a letter to the police chiefs, UP Additional DG (Traffic and Road Safety) Anupam Kulshreshtha said that a separate period has been allotted for the installation of HSRP in different categories of registered vehicles, and today (Feb 15) this prescribed period ends.
Meanwhile, Noida DCP (Traffic) Anil Kumar Yadav said, “The Traffic Department will comply with the direction and from 16 February, a fine of Rs 5,000 for defective number plates will be imposed on all vehicles without HSRP.”

State Transport Minister (independent appointee) Dayashanker Singh has ordered police officers in his department to impose fines on vehicles driving without high security number plates.
“There are growing reports of vehicles with wrong number plates or replaced number plates,” the minister said. He asked law enforcement officers to seek help from the traffic police in the control units.
