Those found speaking on mobile phones anywhere in Uttarakhand will now have their instruments taken away by the police for at least a day. The Nainital high court (HC) on Friday while delivering a series of directions to improve road safety in the state authorised the transport department to “seize mobile phones (of offenders) temporarily for a period of 24 hours after issuing a valid receipt.”

Incidentally, the HC had last month, adopting a strict stance on the use of mobile phones while driving, ordered cancellation of driving licences of the violators. Observing that drivers using cellphones were endangering their lives as well as those of others, the court had said that until the state government issues the necessary amendments, a fine of Rs 5,000 should be charged from every violator.Click Here: Atlanta United FC Jersey
