Agartala, 30th July 2026 : Concerns have emerged in Agartala over whether traffic laws are being applied equally to the public and the police. An online verification of a police vehicle’s records has sparked debate about compliance with road regulations.
According to the data, the vehicle was registered on September 27, 2012, making it approximately 14 years and 5 months old. Its fitness certificate remains valid until September 26, 2027. However, the records show that the Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC) expired on August 14, 2021, while the insurance field bizarrely displays the date January 1, 1901.
Although these anomalies may stem from outdated or erroneous online entries, the issue raises a critical question: if the information is accurate, how is the vehicle operating without valid documentation?
Ordinary citizens are routinely fined for lapses in insurance, pollution certificates, or other traffic violations. The public now questions whether the same standards are enforced for vehicles belonging to the police and administration.
Officials caution that it would be premature to draw conclusions without verifying the actual, current documents of the vehicle. Still, residents insist that traffic regulations must apply equally to all, regardless of whether the vehicle belongs to a private citizen or a government department.
