Chandigarh, January 16

While the red beacon has been removed from the official vehicles of senior bureaucrats and UT police officers, including the new DIG, the SSP (Traffic) is yet to consider the recent notification of the Administration restricting the use of the red beacon on vehicles.

The UT Administration had come up with a new notification authorising only the Administrator, the Chief Justice, Judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Adviser to the Administrator to use the red beacon (with a flasher).

The official vehicle of SSP (Traffic) Eish Singhal was seen with a red beacon during the closing ceremony of a function to mark the 28th National Road Safety Week at Children Traffic Park, Sector 23, even when the red beacon on the vehicle of UT DIG Alok Kumar was covered.

Other IPS officers in the city have also covered the red beacon affixed on their cars.

According to the notification of the UT, the MP, the Mayor, IAS/IPS officers of the super-time scale and above the Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate, the District and Sessions Judge, the SSP and fire tenders are allowed the amber light (with a flasher).
