Muktsar, April 8
Daljeet Kaur, wife of Deputy Commissioner Jaskiran Singh, was today spotted using an amber beacon atop an Innova vehicle (PB 30 N 5433) in violation of an SC order that restricts the use of beacons.
The DC’s wife had gone to inaugurate a beauty parlour at the Red Cross Complex here. She was accompanied by a relative. Daljeet Kaur is the honorary woman president of the Indian Red Cross Society, Muktsar. The society has provided her the vehicle.
Jaskiran Singh said: “A beacon can be used only if the person is authorised and that too for official purpose. It can’t be used by any of his family member.”
When told that his wife was using a beacon atop her vehicle, he refrained from giving a direct reply: “The vehicle is mostly used within the town. I also travel in it.”
Kuldeep Chahal, Senior Superintendent of Police, Muktsar, said: “No person other than those entitled can use a beacon of any colour atop the vehicle. If someone violates the norm, he/she invites punitive action.”
Who’s entitled
The Transport Department has permitted chief parliamentary secretaries, principal secretaries, DGPs, ADGPs, zonal IGs, deputy commissioners, district and sessions judges, police commissioners and SSPs posted as district police heads to use an amber beacon. An amber beacon ranks below the red beacon and above the blue beacon.
