RCs of uninsured vehicles to be cancelled in Odisha, confirmed the State Transport Authority. The Cabinet Minister of Commerce and Transport Bibhuti Bhushan Jena confirmed the above via an X post.
He took to his official X handle and wrote, “Driving a motor vehicle without valid insurance is not acceptable at all. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has also expressed concern over the large number of vehicles being driven without insurance.”
He further added, “It has directed departmental officers to take firm and strict action against violators of road safety rules. At all toll gates in the state, vehicle insurance and necessary documents will be automatically checked through e-challan.”
Furthermore he urged people, “Always follow road safety rules. We request everyone to remain cautious about the safety of other road users as well as your own.”
It is worth mentioning here that recently the Supreme Court while hearing the case of National Insurance Co. v. Smt. Thungala Dhana Laxmi and Others took note of the fact that a number of vehicles plying on Indian roads are uninsured.
It is worth mentioning here that, the two-judge bench noted that the purchase of third-party insurance for three years for cars and five years for two-wheelers during the purchase or registration of new vehicles was mandated by the Supreme Court in 2018, however very few people follow the rule.
The Apex Court directed the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and the IRDAI to form a pilot project exploring a system where fuel is supplied to a vehicle only if it has valid insurance.
