Mangaluru: Crackdown on excessively bright vehicle headlights within Commissionerate limits
Mangaluru: In an ongoing operation targeting vehicles equipped with harsh and intense headlamps, the Mangaluru police have registered 1,170 cases and collected penalties totaling ₹5,86,500 within the City Commissionerate limits. This initiative, which began on July 15, aims to improve road safety by enforcing regulations on vehicle lighting.
According to a press release from the city police on Wednesday, the operation initially focused on raising public awareness about the dangers of using excessively bright headlights. Police have targeted vehicles exceeding headlight limits, those with altered headlights, additional LED bulbs, harsh and brighter lights, and the use of high beams on all roads. Offending drivers have been warned as part of the enforcement effort. Mangaluru Police Commissioner Anupam Agarwal confirmed that the special operation would continue to ensure compliance.
Under the Motor Vehicles Act of 1989, vehicles must adhere to specific headlight regulations set by their manufacturers. Additional decorative lights and harsh LED bulbs are prohibited, and high beams are not permitted on national and state highways within the Mangaluru commissionerate limits where street lamps are present. Furthermore, motorcycles and auto-rickshaws are limited to one or two headlights, while vehicles with four or more wheels may only use two or four headlights.
The regulations also stipulate that the beam of dimmer light emitted from vehicle headlamps should not appear harsh to the eyes of a person sitting in a vehicle eight meters away, and the right headlight beam should not be harsh to someone sitting in a vehicle five meters away.

Sidhu’s diet-based cancer cure for wife called 'unscientific' by doctors of Tata Memorial Hospital
New Delhi, Nov 23: Cancer patients should not delay or stop their treatment by following unproven remedies, oncologists at Tata Memorial Hospital said after former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu claimed at a presser that his wife Navjot Kaur defeated stage 4 cancer with dietary and lifestyle changes.
In a statement posted on X, the Director of Tata Memorial Hospital, Dr C S Pramesh, said, "Parts of the video imply that starving the cancer by not eating dairy products and sugar, consuming haldi (turmeric) and neem helped cure her 'incurable' cancer."
These comments have no high quality evidence to support them, the statement signed by 262 oncologists from the Tata Memorial Hospital, both past and present, said.
While research is going on for some of these products, currently there is no clinical data to recommend their use as anti-cancer agents, it added.
"We urge the public to not delay their treatment by following unproven remedies, but rather to consult a doctor, preferably a cancer specialist, if they have any symptoms of cancer. Cancer is curable if detected early and proven treatments for cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy," read the statement issued in "public interest".
Posting a clip of from Sidhu's press conference on X, Dr Pramesh said, "Please don't believe and get fooled by these statements regardless of who it comes from. These are unscientific and baseless recommendations. She got surgery and chemotherapy that were evidence based which is what made her cancer-free. Not the haldi, neem etc."
