He added that when other states charge only around 100 to 300 for two wheeler vehicles, in the state the department charge around above 600. He also said that the security chips to trace the vehicle has not been installed which make no sense of registering number plates. He questioned where did the huge amount of the money collected by the department along with the company has been kept at the government coffer or individual pocket and added that tentatively around 4 lakhs vehicle’s owners are there in the state. He warned the department and the company should refund the excess amount acquired by them in the public interest. He added that such flaw is gross violation of human rights.
