Govt. Officials Ordered to Stop Using Red Beacons on Vehicles

The Odisha government has told its officials to stop using red lights on their cars, as a reminder of a rule made in 2017 by the national government.

Only vehicles like ambulances and the fire service, when doing their jobs, can use flashing lights.

The government is doing this because some officials were breaking the rule.

The officials must get permission before they use multi-colored lights.

The goal is to follow the law and make sure emergency vehicles can be easily identified.

It's about making sure the rules about vehicle lights are followed, and that only the correct vehicles use them.
