CM announced not to impose fines other than masks

 The state will henceforth impose a hefty fine of Rs 500 for two- and three-wheelers and Rs 1,000 for four-wheelers for insufficient documentation.

Two days ago, the CM announced not to impose fines other than masks

If the vehicle is not confiscated, higher fines will be levied

Chief Minister Vijay Rupani had decided in the cabinet and instructed the police not to levy fines for vehicles other than masks or other RTO offenses when the police have intensified vehicle checking to take punitive action against those who do not wear masks during the current Koro transition. But now in just two days, the government has reversed this decision and instructed to levy a higher fine of Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 if the vehicle does not have documents. However, the vehicle is said not to be seized. Instead, the driver will be allowed to go after collecting the fine.

Leaving the vehicle takes a long time

Vijay Rupani on Saturday decided that while intensive police surveillance is being carried out for the implementation of the mask, the vehicle drivers do not have sufficient documents available. In such circumstances, the vehicles are confiscated as per the RTO rule and the process of releasing them takes a long time. So for two-wheeler and three-wheeler vehicles without documents Rs.500. And a higher fine of Rs.1000 will be levied for a four-wheeler. The required documents of the vehicles can be submitted within 15 days. Thus the government has hit a U-turn in three more days in one decision. According to the new rule, even if there is no mask, there will be a fine and even if the driver does not have enough documents, a fine of Rs.500 to Rs.1000 will be levied.

According to this, the police officers in the state will be able to levy these hefty fines for the vehicles detained under the Motor Vehicle Act-1988 as a strict measure of Covid-19 transition control.
