Vehicles with out-of-state number plates especially Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana is\u00a0\u00a0creating a nuisance on Jammu roads, despite\u00a0\u00a0number of complaints against these vehicles by residents the Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police, the J&K Police have found no detail or record with the Transport Commissioner, J&K or RTOs of the districts of such vehicles, as they are\u00a0\u00a0openly\u00a0\u00a0violating traffic\u00a0\u00a0rules and\u00a0\u00a0poses security risks\u00a0\u00a0with out of state number plates. As per norms all out of state vehicles\u00a0\u00a0should be registered with the RTO\u00a0\u00a0of concerned district in J&K and provide details like the vehicle’s registration number and location to assist the authorities in identifying and taking action against the offending vehicles.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0\u00a0s illegal to drive a vehicle registered in some other state than your current state, for e.g., driving a car registered in UP with out registeration with the RTOs of concerned state where you are\u00a0\u00a0presenting staying.\u00a0\u00a0It is illegal,\u00a0\u00a0if you are moving permanently to\u00a0\u00a0J&K you need to\u00a0\u00a0registered with same number plates to RTOs\u00a0\u00a0every year. It is observed that Vehicles with out-of-state plates createing nuisance and raise security concerns in Jammu by potentially operating without proper registration, avoiding local taxes, and aiding in criminal activities due to masked identities. J&K’s Motor Vehicles Act mandates re-registration after 12 months, but enforcement is often inconsistent, leading to illegal plying and revenue loss for the state. The issue is exacerbated by the risk of these vehicles being used by anti-social elements and the difficulty in tracking them without valid local registration.\u00a0 Many people are raising question\u00a0\u00a0on\u00a0Why out-of-state plates are a Problem\u00a0\u00a0in J&K. Since Jammu and Kashmir is disturbing Union Territory , there is every possibility miscreants, kidnappers, and anti-national elements can exploit the lack of local identity to commit crimes and evade identification, posing a significant security threat in a sensitive region like Jammu and Kashmir. Ohter main reason is the vehicles operating on local roads without re-registering are not paying the required road tax and other commercial taxes to the J&K exchequer, leading to substantial revenue loss for the state.\u00a0\u00a0The prevalence of these vehicles, especially\u00a0\u00a0private and commercial ones, can be a symptom of illegal operations, as many vehicles operating fraudulently on Jammu roads since 2019.\u00a0As per legal Framework and Enforcement issues it is mandatory re-register\u00a0\u00a0vehicle\u00a0\u00a0as per\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0Central Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>,\u00a0Section 47, states that vehicles kept in a different state for over 12 months must be re-registered in that state.\u00a0\u00a0This orders have been issued for mandatory re-registration, implementation remains a challenge\u00a0\u00a0as Transport Department, Jammu and Kashmir have no record of such vehicles. The primary concern is the potential misuse of these vehicles for illegal activities and their role in undermining law and order.\u00a0 J&K\u00a0police and traffic police\u00a0\u00a0must conduct aggressive drives to check for non-compliant vehicles.\u00a0According to section 39 of the Act, vehicles must be registered in the state or UT where they are primarily used. However, no\u00a0\u00a0record of outside vehicles plying on Srinagar, Jammu roads found with Transport Department, Govt of Jammu and Kashmir.\u00a0\u00a0Hundreds of\u00a0\u00a0Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat based vehicles are plying on J&K Roads without paying road tax and other taxes.\u00a0\u00a0J&K\u00a0Police say a vehicle with non-J&K registration\u00a0\u00a0is\u00a0\u00a0was used in attacks on security forces. After vehicles with a non-J&K registration number was allegedly used by militants in\u00a0\u00a0carrying attack on\u00a0\u00a0security Forces\u00a0\u00a0in J&K. The J&K administration has made it mandatory for non-J&K vehicle owners to apply for a fresh registration number in the UT. Such vehicle owners will also have to pay road tax as per the remaining number of plying years of the vehicle. One of the reasons why vehicles from outside J&K ply in the UT is that people prefer to buy pre-owned vehicles since they are cheaper. It has been observed that considerable number of\u00a0\u00a0vehicles<\/a>\u00a0registered outside Jammu & Kashmir (from adjoining States of\u00a0\u00a0Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi etc\u00a0\u00a0have been purchased by the residents of the Jammu and Kashmir and are being plied across the Jammu & Kashmir unauthorizedly, without having been registered with the concerned Registering Authorities (RTOs\/ARTOs), in contravention to the explicit provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.\u201d Another problem is vehicles creating a nuisance on Jammu roads include those with unauthorized modifications like loud pressure horns, oversized tires, and tinted windows, which violate the\u00a0Motor Vehicles Act<\/a>,\u00a0and those that cause congestion due to illegal parking. In response to these issues, Jammu authorities have intensified crackdowns, seizing modified vehicles, banning the sale of illegal accessories, and implementing strict penalties for offenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
