Towing of Vehicles Responsible For Damage: Here Are New Likely Changes To The Towing Rules in the City

After many issues and controversies that came into the limelight, the towing of vehicles parked in the wrong spaces was halted temporarily. This included a delivery executive running behind the vehicle and a specially-abled lady being beaten up by the police personnel. This was a collective decision to ensure smooth work and people-friendly towing activity to take place. After much deliberation, new rules are going to be made, here are the likely changes that we can possibly expect.

The new likely changes:

  • A Police personnel has to strictly accompany the towing vehicle and boys who lift the vehicles.
  • If a vehicle is parked in the no-parking zone, its video has to be made so that proof of the pickup and the reason is available.
  • The Police personnel has to first announce the registration number of the vehicle, wait for 5 minutes and only then pick up the vehicle.
  • The vehicle has to be pictured before the pickup, so there is proof that no damage is done.
  • If there is any damage to the vehicle, the towing agencies are only responsible for the same.

These rules are likely to be tightened and spoken about in the coming discussion and changes, if you have any suggestions on the same, write to us in the comments.
