In a bid to enhance road safety and enforce compliance with traffic regulations, Manipur Police conducted a special drive and detained 20 two-wheeler vehicles on Thursday for various violations.
The action was taken against individuals for riding without valid Registration Certificates (RCs), and for vehicles without number plates, both of which are violations under the Motor Vehicles Act. The drive is part of an intensified effort by the police to instill traffic discipline and deter unlawful vehicle usage across the state.

Police Statement
A senior police official emphasized that such violations pose a risk to public safety and security, particularly the use of unregistered or numberless vehicles, which could be misused for illegal activities. The official also reiterated that the use of tinted films, which obscure visibility inside vehicles, is banned under the Supreme Court’s directive for security reasons.
“These checks are not just about enforcing rules but about ensuring public safety. We urge citizens to cooperate and follow all traffic norms,” said the official.
Ongoing Traffic Enforcement Measures
The police have stepped up their monitoring mechanisms through:
Surprise road checks and vehicle inspections
Use of traffic surveillance cameras
Awareness campaigns on road safety
Motorists have been advised to carry all necessary documents and ensure their vehicles comply with legal norms.
Public Cooperation Sought
Manipur Police have appealed to the public to be responsible road users and report suspicious or unregistered vehicles. Officials confirmed that such enforcement drives will continue across districts to uphold law and order on the roads.
