The Delhi Traffic Police is busy catching motorists driving vehicles having tinted glasses on rear and side windows. Until 28 July the cops have prosecuted a total of 31,196 motorists for using dark glasses.

On July 26, 27 and 28, they prosecuted 3,886 motorists for having tinted films on the rear and side window screens in their vehicles. The cops even got removed films from 2,640 vehicles during those days.

According to a Delhi Traffic Police release, “It is reiterated that window screens of the motor vehicles should be absolutely transparent. Delhi Traffic Police will continue this drive against such vehicles having dark/black/reflective films and get them removed, besides prosecution at the spot.”

In fact Ajit from Noida called me to ask whether there is any complaint number of Delhi Traffic Police where one could lodge a complaint of any traffic offenses. He was specific about reporting about vehicles using tinted glasses. I spoke to Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Qamar Ahmed and he said that one could always call the 24-hour Traffic Help line number 23378888 and lodge a complaint there.

So next time you see a car having tinted glasses you can always call the Delhi Traffic Police help line number to register a complaint.
