Early Times Report

Jammu, Feb 24: Disrespecting Transport Department rules to install registration plates on any type of vehicle, an influential contractor have four Earth Mover machines without registration in Jatwal area of Samba district.
Reliable source in department informed that on one hand, Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) has made mandatory to install High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) in all types of vehicles, but on other hand, the influential contractor under political patronage plying four JCBs with violation of norms established by the department. "The firm M/s Khan & Sons owned by Mohammed Khan and Gafoor Hussain, who have been running the earth mover machines in violation of norms and without registration number plates", sources said. They further alleged that the owners have strong links in the enforcement agencies including Traffic Police. "Without registration of the vehicles it is not possible to cover these vehicles under insurance cover. The owners have been saving a huge money in the form of insurance fee and money spent to fulfill other formalities and making of documents", sources said. Sources further said that for the last four years the owners had never come for passing of these earth movers and nor for pollution checking certificates. "The Motor vehicle department had imposed fine of Rs. 14000, after they found one JCB on road and had also instructed the owner for getting registration numbers issued but so far these warnings were overheard by the owner, overtly due to holding close allegiance to enforcement agencies", sources alleged. If there would be any accident with the earth movers, the victim would not get any compensation, sources said. Assistant Regional Transport Officer (ARTO) Samba Kuldeep Singh said that they have already imposed fine on the earth movers and had also issued strict warnings. "If the owner will not get his earth movers registered, we will seize the vehicles soon", he said.
