In an effort to discourage the misuse of vehicles for illegal activities, the Awantipora Police recently launched a thorough inquiry into vehicle transactions within their precincts. This initiative involves Senior District Police Officers (SDPOs) and Station House Officers (SHOs), who have started visiting car dealerships to review records associated with vehicle sales and purchases.
Authorities have identified a particular concern regarding individuals who buy multiple vehicles, as this trend frequently correlates with suspicious or unlawful activities. During these inspections, police officials closely examined documentation maintained by dealers, ensuring adherence to established guidelines.
In an effort to foster greater transparency, car dealerships received directives to keep precise and complete records for every transaction. Required information includes buyers’ and sellers’ Aadhaar details, phone numbers, and other contact information. Such measures aim to enhance accountability in vehicle dealings within the district.
The police stressed that this inquiry forms part of a larger strategy to enhance surveillance and curb the use of vehicles in anti-social or illegal conduct. The initiative reflects a commitment to maintaining public safety and law and order.
While commenting on this critical operation, SSP Awantipora highlighted the significance of preventive policing. He emphasized that stringent oversight of vehicle transactions is vital for preventing misuse by anti-social or anti-national groups. He also pointed out that public cooperation and diligence from car dealers significantly contribute to fostering peace in the community.
The Awantipora Police reassured the public of their unwavering dedication to ensuring safety, emphasizing proactive and preventive measures in combatting potential threats.
