Traffic Police City Srinagar on Saturday issued an advisory about the use of High Beam Light and termed it an offence under Motor Vehicles Act, 122/177, S. 52r/w S. 39/192, asking violators to refrain from using it as it will invite punishment.
Senior Superintendent of Police, Traffic Srinagar in a communiqué stated that use of High Beam Light is an offence under Motor Vehicle Act, 122/177, S.52r/w S. 39/192 and invites punishment.
