Bengaluru Begins Relocation of Over 11,000 Seized Vehicles from Police Stations
Bengaluru authorities have launched a drive to relocate over 11,000 seized vehicles from police station premises to seven designated sites covering 26 acres, aiming to clear footpaths and reduce public inconvenience. Many vehicles have been stored for up to 15 years due to ongoing court cases. The operation, led by Minister Krishna Byre Gowda in coordination with police and revenue departments, follows public complaints about obstruction and safety hazards. Vehicle owners with legal claims can retrieve their vehicles from new storage locations, while abandoned vehicles face auction.
