He stressed the importance of compliance with regulations governing vehicle modifications, emphasizing that these measures are crucial for maintaining public safety and order.
By obstructing the visibility of vehicle license plates and hindering identification, illegal tinted glass and covered number plates, the commissioner said, undermine law enforcement efforts to uphold security in the state.
Urging motorists using such modifications as a matter of urgency to cease, the Police Command, according to the statement, has vowed to take decisive action against offenders to ensure strict adherence to the law.
