In a proactive move to curb unlawful activities, Awantipora Police have launched a comprehensive inquiry into vehicle transactions within the police district. This initiative, which commenced this week, aims to enhance public safety by preventing the misuse of vehicles in illegal operations.
The Special Duty Police Officers (SDPOs) and Station House Officers (SHOs) started visiting local car dealerships to scrutinize records related to vehicle sales and purchases. Police officials noted that the inquiry targets cases where a single individual has bought multiple vehicles, a pattern often associated with suspicious behavior.
During these inspections, officers focused on verifying the documentation maintained by car dealers to ensure compliance with established regulations. This thorough approach aims to ensure that all transactions are legitimate and transparent.
As part of the inquiry, car dealers received explicit instructions to maintain complete and accurate records of each transaction. Dealers must collect comprehensive details, including Aadhaar information, phone numbers, and contact data from both buyers and sellers. This measure aims at fostering greater accountability and security in vehicle dealings across the district.
According to the Awantipora Police, this initiative is part of a larger effort to strengthen surveillance and monitoring systems within the community. The aim is to prevent vehicles from being exploited for anti-social or illegal purposes, which poses a significant threat to public safety.
In a statement, the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Awantipora highlighted the essence of preventive policing. He stated that strict oversight of vehicle transactions is crucial to mitigate the risk of misuse by anti-social or anti-national elements. Furthermore, he acknowledged the vital role that public cooperation, along with vigilance from car dealers, plays in maintaining law and order in the region.
The commitment of the Awantipora Police towards ensuring public safety remains resolute, and officers are determined to implement proactive measures to deter potential criminal activities related to vehicle transacting.
