Safety Campaign: NH&MP to ensure vehicles have tail lights

The National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) N-5 Central have started a special campaign to check vehicles without tail lights and remove grills covering the backlights, mostly of Heavy Transport Vehicles (HTVs).


A comprehensive campaign has been started, on the directions of NH&MP N-5 Central DIG Fateh Sher Joyia, to ensure that vehicles have proper tail lights and iron grills that cover backlights, mostly of trailers and trucks, are removed. DIG Joyia said that vehicles without tail lights or with poor visibility of tail lights can become a cause of serious accidents. He asked officers to ensure that drivers using grills to protect tail lights of their vehicles be told that this hampers the visibility of backlights. The officers of the Mobile Education Unit of N-5 Central Zone are also visiting transport terminals to brief and educate drivers regarding the importance of tail lights while travelling at night and the dire consequences of their absence.
