Khanna Police Return 818 Unclaimed Vehicles in Special Disposal DrivePreviousNext

Khanna police have returned 818 of 1,470 vehicles that were lying unattended at various police stations as part of a special drive to clear seized and abandoned vehicles linked to various legal cases. The effort involved overcoming challenges such as identifying owners, tracing records, and addressing emotional reluctance from families in accident cases. A coordination meeting chaired by District and Sessions Judge Harpreet Kaur Randhawa helped resolve legal and administrative issues to expedite the process. Vehicles liable for confiscation or further disposal were referred to the chief judicial magistrate's court for orders.
