The high security registration number plates in the UT will have to wait till next year now,as the Chandigarh Administration has decided to wait for Punjab and Haryana to prepare detailed terms and conditions before inviting tenders for the project.
The decision was taken in a meeting attended by the Transport Secretaries of Chandigarh and the two states today. The meeting,chaired by UT Adviser Pradip Mehra,was attended by Punjabs Transport Secretary DS Jaspal and his Haryana counterpart Sameer Mathur. It was decided that Chandigarh shall follow the Detailed Notice Inviting Tenders (DNIT) prepared by the two states.
The Supreme Court,in May this year,had served a three-month deadline to all the state governments and Union Territories to introduce high security registration number plates for vehicles operating in their jurisdiction. The decision aimed to reduce the use of vehicles for criminal and terrorist activities throughout the country. The deadline was later extended and vehicles directed to switch to high security registration number plates within two years.
A high security registration number plate shall carry a chromium hologram,a retro-reflective film bearing a verification inscription India at 45 degrees inclination,unique laser numbering,which contains alpha-numeric identification of both testing agency and the manufacturer. The registration numbers are to be embossed on plates. In case of rear registration plate,it shall be fitted with a non-reusable snap lock to make it tamper proof. A chromium-based third registration plate in the form of sticker shall be attached to the windshield,in which the number of engine and chasis are indicated with the name of registering authority.
