Out of 9.54 lakh vehicles registered in the district before April 2019, only 3.52 lakh have been fitted with ‘High Security Registration Plates’ (HSRP). Meanwhile, 3.94 lakh vehicle owners have registered online for these number plates. Around 2 lakh vehicle owners have so far ignored the requirement.

The deadline for installing HSRP was extended four times, with the final date set as December 31. Vehicle owners were awaiting either another extension or the start of enforcement from the new year. However, the deadline has passed, and no new extension has been announced, nor has any action been taken against defaulters.
