As per the information shared by the state transport department, not only will the RTO-related work (ownership transfers, fitness certificates, and other services) of vehicle owners who fail to install HSRPs within the stipulated time be put on hold, they will also be liable to pay an additional penalty. The department has urged citizens to get their HSRPs fitted at the earliest to avoid last-minute rush and legal consequences. The authorities have also indicated that enforcement drives will intensify immediately after the deadline, and vehicles found without the mandatory plates will be penalised on the spot. The HSRPs, designed to enhance vehicle identification and curb theft, are being made compulsory across the state with the final compliance date now rapidly approaching. Swapnil Bhosale, deputy regional transport officer, Pune, said, 'Vehicle owners must ensure that they get their HSRPs fitted before the deadline. Post-deadline, we will not process any RTO-related work for non-compliant vehicles, and penalty action will be taken as per the rules.'

India's Hero vs England In Hot Water After 'Dream' Car Purchase, Report Says Handed Notice Due To...
Just a few days after purchasing his 'dream' car, India pacer Akash Deep has landed himself in hot water regarding it, according to a report. The 28-year-old had revealed on social media that he had purchased a Toyota Fortuner upon returning home after the conclusion of the Test series between India and England. However, a recent report has emerged claiming that the pacer has been handed a notice from the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department for using a vehicle without a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP). What is a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP)? While standard number plates of cars can suffer damage easily, High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) were introduced by the Government of India to protect it. HSRPs are special number plates that come with multiple security features like laser codes, non-removable screws, and a hologram, making them impossible to be stolen or faked. What did Akash Deep do? As per a report by India Today, Akash Deep's black Toyota Fortuner did not have an HSRP, leading to the Indian pacer being handed a notice. M/s Sunny Motors, the dealer from which Akash Deep purchased the vehicle, has also been punished. Based in Lucknow, it has been reported that the dealer delivered the vehicle without completing the registration for or fitting an HSRP on the car. The dealer company has been suspended for one month as a result, with officials alleging that it had not completed the mandatory registration process. M/s Sunny Motors have been given 14 days to provide an explanation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akash Deep (@ Akash Deep had earlier taken to social media to celebrate the purchase of the car. The top model of the Toyota Fortuner reportedly costs over Rs 62 lakh. 'Dream delivered. Keys received. With the ones who matter most," posted Akash Deep on Instagram, sharing pictures of the car alongside his family. The blow to Akash Deep comes just a week after the conclusion of a thrilling Test series between India and England, which finished 2-2. Akash Deep played in three of the five matches, taking 13 wickets throughout the series.
