Police, MVD asked to jointly implement a system
The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed the Police Department and the Motor Vehicle Department to jointly implement a system to efficiently trace vehicles which are involved in hit-and-run cases. State Human Rights Commission chairperson Antony Dominic issued the order based on a complaint submitted by former Chief Secretary C.P. Nair, who passed away recently.
In a press release, the commission said that there should be such a system to trace vehicles involved in hit-and-run cases, at a time when technology has advanced so much. The person responsible for the accident should take the injured person to the hospital and ensure proper treatment. Those who escape from the spot without doing this are breaking the law and violating human rights.
