The commissioner of police, Rakesh Agrawal, has extended the ban on open sale of acid for two months and asked traders to renew their licences timely to avoid police action.
Traders have been directed to collect photocopy of the identity proof of the buyer and not sell acid to customers below 18 years of age.
Institutions and organisations, that use acid for different purposes, have been directed to maintain the record of acid use and depute nodal officers to ensure that the chemical is not used anywhere with wrong intentions.
Transfer ownership of second-hand vehicle in 30 days
Citing increasing crime incidents, the top cop asked residents to transfer ownership of any vehicle within one month of its resale or purchase. He said often miscreants used such vehicles to execute crime and later, police faced problems tracing them.
No graphics on number plates
Designs, graphics and pasting stickers on the number plates of the vehicles have been banned as these make it tough to read the registration number.
Shopkeepers have been directed to check the registration certificate (RC) of vehicles before selling number plates.

For safety and security of school children, Agrawal has ordered all schools to deposit a list of their staff, including drivers and conductors of school buses, with their pictures to the police stations concerned.

Other orders
