Iada Martin Marbaniang, Commissioner of Police in Belagavi, has issued a stern directive mandating the installation of Registration Number Plates and High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on all vehicles. This move aims to curb the use of unregistered vehicles in criminal activities, which have increasingly put innocent citizens at risk.

Mandatory HSRP Installation by September 2024

As per the Karnataka Government’s notification dated April 1, 2019, all vehicles registered before this date must be equipped with HSRP plates. The deadline for compliance is set for September 2024. This regulation is part of a broader initiative to enhance vehicle identification and traceability.

Upcoming Inspections and Legal Actions

In the forthcoming days, the Belagavi Police will conduct extensive inspections within city limits to ensure vehicles comply with the registration requirements. Vehicles lacking proper registration numbers will be impounded, and owners will face legal consequences.

Call to Action for Vehicle Owners

Commissioner Marbaniang urges all vehicle owners to promptly install the required registration plates and adhere to traffic regulations. This measure is crucial for maintaining public safety and order in Belagavi. Vehicle owners are strongly advised to take immediate action to comply with these regulations and avoid potential legal repercussions.
