Govt takes its decision back CS, DGP and SAG not to use red beacon light

Jammu: Succumbing to the pressure of legislators, Jammu and Kashmir Government Wednesday forbade the use of red beacons on the official vehicles of the Chief Secretary, the Director General of police and the state Advocate General.
While objecting to the use of red beacon lights by Government functionaries, the legislators on Tuesday had created unruly scenes in Legislative Assembly after which the Assembly was adjourned.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mir Saiffullah Wednesday informed the Assembly that that the permission to use red beacons on official vehicles for the Chief Secretary, the Director General of police and the state Advocate General has been withdrawn.

Pertinently, the Cabinet had allowed the use of red beacons on the official vehicles of the three dignitaries but did not extend this to the legislators. (CNS)
