Mumbai traffic cops told to remove 'police' sticker from their private vehicles
Mumbai(PTI): The Mumbai traffic police on Monday issued a circular asking its personnel to remove police sticker as well as logo of the force from their private vehicles or face action.
According to an official, the circular was issued following numerous complaints that traffic department officials, constables and their relatives had stuck such stickers on their private vehicles to avoid checking during movement.
The Bombay High Court, too, had earlier asked authorities to take action in the matter, he said.
"Law is same for all and if police break the law it will malign the image of the police department. Such vehicles (which have police logo or sticker) are not checked during 'nakabandi' (road blockades)...also such stickers may be misused," the circular said.
The circular asked police inspectors to check the private vehicles of their subordinates and ensure the stickers and logo, if found on them, are removed.

Accept Congress decision appointing V D Satheesan as Kerala CM: K C Venugopal
Thiruvananthapuram/New Delhi (PTI): Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal on Thursday accepted the party decision to select V D Satheesan as the chief minister of Kerala and congratulated him.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Venugopal, who was one of the three persons being considered for the post, said he will provide all support to the CM and the UDF government in Kerala.
The decision comes more than 10 days after the results of the April Assembly polls in Kerala were declared.
The Congress-led UDF secured a more than two-thirds majority in the Kerala Assembly elections, but the party has been unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.
Besides, Satheesan and Venugopal, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala was also in the race for the CM post.
