Kishtwar,DD, In a major crackdown on traffic violations, the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) Kishtwar has initiated strict action against a vehicle found violating multiple sections of the Motor Vehicle Act. A Santro car (JK02V 1211) was caught operating on the Drabshalla-Kishtwar route without essential documents such as Insurance, PUCC (Pollution Under Control Certificate), and Fitness Certificate.
The matter gained urgency after a video of the vehicle went viral on social media, drawing public attention to the violation. Responding to the issue, Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) Kishtwar, Tasleem Javaid formally requested the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Jammu to take appropriate action, including the cancellation of the vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC) under the Motor Vehicle Act.
