Is this applicable only in Punjab or pan-India? The article doesn't seem to mention that.

' In the wake of two terror attacks in the state, the police have banned the use of tags like 'on govt duty', 'Army', 'Press', 'VIP' or any other title on private vehicles that can allow a person easy entry into a vital installation.

ADGP (Security), Punjab, has issued a circular banning all those on a private vehicle. RTI activist Parvinder Singh Kittna had it brought to the notice of the police that many persons were getting undue influence by tagging such labels on their vehicles, which was against the Motor Vehicle Act also.'




Its a circular issued by the ADGP. He can only issue the circular for his own jurisdiction. But the article mentions the such stickers are illegal as per the Motor Vehicle Act. I don't know the exact details of the act but presumably the language is sufficiently vague to allow for such interpretation.
