LIVE! SC sees RED over car beacons: Restrict use, impose fines

August 05, 2013 16:13

The Supreme Court has red flagged the use of beacons on government cars. The court said only a few people should be allowed to use beacons and sirens and unauthorised use should be dealt with a heavy hand. The court said that if the centre does not change rules on the use of beacons, it will be forced to intervene and pass orders.

The apex court had directed the Centre and states to amend the Motor Vehicles Act on April 4 to ensure that the use of beacons on official vehicles is restricted.

The Supreme Court had warned that if Centre fails to come up with a solution, then it will be forced to pass a decision in the matter, as per a news report.
