Sir,

I have noticed a concerning trend where many young individuals riding motorcycles do not have rear number plates on their bikes. Often, they ride with two pillion passengers on the back and speed at high velocities. Even the Police seem to face challenges in addressing this issue.

These riders are often aware of where Traffic Police checkpoints are set up and avoid those routes by taking alternative routes through side streets. The city outskirts, in particular, have become a haven for these riders, as there is limited or no Police presence for checks and enforcement in those areas.
