Mangaluru: Preserving seized vehicles, a formidable problem for police


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, May 12: The police have been seizing a number of vehicles every day for violating curfew guidelines. They now are facing a huge problem of safely parking the vehicles so seized at a spot. They do not have enough space near their police stations to keep these vehicles.

Since April 28 when the curfew was in force, the police took into custody over 1,656 vehicles. The vehicles seized have already been transported from the check posts to the respective police stations but there is no space for more vehicles.

The vehicle owners have to pay fine in the court and then take delivery of vehicles. Because of curfew, court work also has been curtailed. Therefore, it might take about three months for all the vehicles to be released. If the vehicles are damaged in the meantime, the police will have to bear the cost. Now, the responsibility of looking after the vehicles has been given to the staff of the department.

Police commissioner N Shashi Kumar, has asked the people to release their vehicles by paying the fine and to stay at home to control coronavirus infection. He advised people not to unnecessarily move out of their homes.

    Keep all the vehicles in KSRTC bus depots. they'll have ample space. Plus can always appoint few constables on duty at such places

    It's better to release the vehicles by charging a minimum amount of fine.

    @ Gurka Looks like you got multiple vehicles at home with lots of drivers & servants to fetch you food & everything. Come out of home once I will show you the real world outside & please come with a 2 wheeler my timings are 7-9 bcoz shops open only after 7. I will give list of items & you should finish it off by 8:30 otherwise your vehicle will be seized. Accept the challenge ? I will also train you how to run pillar to post in court to release vehicle.

    Again wrong application of mind, by the police. When there is no proper place to preserving the seized vehicle, why during this pandemic time, police has to exert extra energy of seizing vehicle, as your service is required maintaining proper lockdown. Best would have been, by charging heavy fine to the vehicle owner those who violate curfew, which will save additional energy and head ache of preserving vehicle.

    Looks like Corona has infected your brains. Please donate a few vehicles for auction. Others are not affluent like you to own multiple vehicles. Most people go out braving the curfew out of need. Not for fun. Dont mock at people's misery. We have incompetent government and even more incompetent police force who treat citizens like cattle or criminals

    Simply nonsense drama. Fine violators and make them pay in police stations. These want to show their authority by announcing court fines and cases. Be Human first.

    A humanitarian crisis like the one we are facing now calls for empathy, but the mindless brutality unleashed on hapless citizens by Karnataka police 👮. At the genesis of the problem was a thoughtless decision of the state government barring people from using their vehicles for purchase of essential commodities. Senior citizens, patients and single women are the main people who have suffered. Cruelty by law enforcing agencies has no place in a democracy and the Karnataka police by their highhandedness have tarnished not only their own image but that of the state too. Now some of the vehicles of other states will be sold by the staff of the department.

    I fully agree with you. They take action against ordinary people, but govt. servants, politicians and habitual offenders having some "connections" are never punished.
