Honb’le Chief Minister,
“To avoid Terrorism, Sex racketeering, Spirit mafia, Goonda activities and Hooliganism fromthe soil of Kerala, to a certain extent, please ban usage of black sun films in the wind screens ofmotor vehicles”Most of the motor vehicle owners are using black films on the glass of wind screens and rear window which causes road accidents and also gives room for illegal activities inside the vehicles.
Our Chief Minister, Home Minister, Transport Minister and the Chief Secretary do not use black films in the wind screens of their cars and maintains visual transmission of light inside the vehicle.
But, our police personnel, the DGPs, IGs, DIGs, SPs and the DySPs are behind the dark black wind screens in their vehicles without any vision, and plying through busy streets in a hide.
During the mid sixties an honest and duty bound Sub Inspector named Rhishikesan Nair was in the habit of frequent patrolling in his bullet motor cycle in uniform in the evening through the main centers of Quilon town. It was a fear (not a terror) to the culprits and hooligans and they used to abstain from the streets and the common men used to watch him with proud.
Then why the DGPs to…..DySPs? The Public can see only the police constables up to the CIs who are in vigil in their vehicle. People want to see the DGPs up to DySPs are also in vigil, maintaining law and order. Just a vision of those in the top in uniform in public will certainly create a psycho effect in culprits.
Almost all the goons are remained elusive, since the enactment of Goonda Act. But there are media reports that almost all of them are traveling in luxury cars with black wind screens. Terrorists, Sex racketeers, Spirit Mafias all are using black wind screen in their cars for illegal activities and transportation.
Specifications have been prescribed in Rule 100 (2) of Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 for standard of safety glass, percentage of visual transmission of light of the glass of the wind screen and rear window, according to which 50% of visual transmission of light inside the vehicle shall be maintained so as to see who are in the vehicle and what is happening inside the vehicle.
So in order to enforce this there is no need of a fresh legislation, but Government has to instruct the Regional Transport Officers and Police to enforce these rules strictly and who ever contravenes the order shall be punished with fine under section 177 and suspension of their Registration Certificates under section 53 (1) (a) of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. This would start from our DGPs.
On 10 – 12 – 2007 RIPF had applied RTI about the above said enforcement of rules and the Transport Department of the Secretariat had admitted through the reply in letter No.13022/B2/2007/Tran dated 10 – 1 – 2008 (copies enclosed) that Govt. is in the path of implementation of the provisions of Motor Vehicles Act and Rules.
But nothing has been done. Sometimes the above file might have been in the waste box. Our request is to ban only black sun films and not other sun films that maintains 50% transparency enabling see through inside.
Expecting favorable initiative from the Honb’le Chief Minister.
