Bengaluru Fights Rampant Tinted Glass Violations
In Bengaluru, many vehicles have tinted glass, which is against the law.
The law says that the front and back windows must let in at least 70% of light, and the side windows must let in 50%.
But many people still use tinted glass, which can cause accidents and make it easier for bad things to happen.
The police have been giving fines, but not enough to stop the problem.
In 2025, there were over 5,600 cases of tinted glass violations.
People are asking the police to do more to stop this.
Over 5,600 cases of tinted glass violations registered in Bengaluru by November 2025.
Legal restrictions require at least 70% visibility for front/rear windshields and 50% for side windows.
Tinted glass poses safety risks by reducing visibility and facilitating criminal activities.
Enforcement has been inconsistent, with cases fluctuating over the years.
Public demands stricter enforcement and special drives to curb the use of tinted glass.
