According to Mohali SSP Harmandeep Singh Hans, a special auction drive was conducted on January 28, 29 and 30, across eight police stations in the district, during which a total of 351 seized vehicles were auctioned.
He said that in compliance with the standing orders issued by the Director General of Police (DGP), Punjab, Chandigarh, the drive was launched to ensure the timely disposal of vehicles related to accident cases and other matters that had been lying unattended in police station premises for a long period.
The auction process was carried out under the supervision of Navneet Singh Mahal, SP (Traffic), and Saurav Jindal, SP (Investigation). The auctions were conducted under the chairmanship of the SP (Traffic) in accordance with government norms and with complete transparency.
