VISAKHAPATNAM: Vizag city traffic police’s drive against unauthorised and fraudulent use of press, police, MLA, MP, Defence, and other stickers on the vehicles has proved to be effective. Police have spotted 1,209 vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, with fake stickers fixed on them, in the past three weeks.
City police chief Manish Kumar Sinha said they decided to crack the whip after coming across a few incidents in which people used fake stickers. The drive will continue for some more days, he added.
In the past three weeks, 378 vehicles were found with unauthorised police stickers, 451 with press stickers, 129 with MLA stickers, 34 with MP stickers, 14 with MLC stickers, 136 with Defence stickers and 67 with other stickers. “We asked them to remove the stickers on the spot.
