The Kohima Traffic Police has ramped up the checking of use of illegal LED lights, black films and sound boosters in vehicles.
The traffic police personnel have been conducting checks on four-wheelers and two-wheelers frequently but the use of black films and other such additions have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic period because of which the exercise has been enhanced, DSP (Traffic) Manom Wallim told reporters.
Traffic Police and DEF Kohima personnel are checking vehicles at Police Headquarters Junction here since Monday, he said.
Use of black films in vehicles and sound booster silencers of two-wheelers are illegal, he said and also informed that, as initial measure the personnel are removing the LED lights and black films fitted on vehicles while those with sound boosters are seized and released only after changing to normal silencers. The high sound horns are also removed, he said.
While cautioning that such checking will continue, the DSP (Traffic) also requested vehicles users to desist from fitting extra led lights in the vehicles and also to avoid sound boosters in silencers.
