This could lead to the impoundment of their vehicles and even recommendation for the cancellation of vehicle registrations.
The traffic police have emphasized the gravity of the situation and urged all concerned vehicle owners to take immediate action to avoid any inconvenience or potential loss of their vehicles. With the deadline fast approaching, vehicle owners are advised to act promptly and responsibly to settle their pending e-challans and avoid any legal repercussions.
