Karnataka: Vehicle owners get more time to affix HSRPs, deadline extended till November 30
Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Transport Department has extended the deadline for installing High-Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) on vehicles registered before April 1, 2019, to November 30, 2024. The move comes as the state continues to see slow compliance from vehicle owners.
HSRP is an aluminium-made number plate designed to enhance security of vehicles. Unlike regular number plates, which can be easily tampered, High-Security Registration Plates feature non-reusable locks that can only be removed by breaking the lock, making unauthorised changes difficult.
To assist vehicle owners, the Transport Department has set up a dedicated helpline for HSRP-related queries. Vehicle owners can contact the department at 9449863429 or 9449863426 for support.
The Transport Department has strongly urged all vehicle owners to comply with the direction before the extended deadline, warning that failure to do so may result in penalties or other enforcement actions.

Fadnavis should be made next CM of Maharashtra, demands BJP MLC Darekar
Mumbai (PTI): BJP legislator Pravin Darekar on Saturday demanded that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis be appointed as the next chief minister of the state with early trends in the counting of votes for the assembly elections suggesting a win for the Mahayuti combine.
In the alliance, the party that secures the highest number of seats will be entitled to get the chief minister's post, he asserted.
The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance appeared set to retain power in the state, and was leading in 218 of the 288 assembly seats, as per the latest figures in the counting of votes by the Election Commission. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was stumbling, with its candidates leading in just 50 seats.
As per ECI figures, in the Mahayuti, BJP candidates were leading in 128 seats, Shiv Sena in 55 and NCP in 35 seats.
Talking to reporters, BJP MLC Darekar said, "Based on the current trends, I believe that the BJP will be the single largest party and Devendra Fadnavis should become the chief minister. The election was contested under his leadership, and he called for a 'dharma yuddha' in these assembly polls."
"I cannot express my gratitude to people," he said.
When asked about the current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, whose party Shiv Sena is an ally of the BJP, Darekar said, "As part of the alliance, the party that secures the most seats will be entitled to the post of Chief Minister."
