Senior cops can use flashing lights on official vehicles: HC

Gujarat high court on Thursday asked the government to permit police officers above the rank of PI, to keep their rectangular multi-colour flashing 'lightbars' on the top of their vehicles.

Following a PIL and then a contempt proceeding, the police department ordered its officers to take down beacons, but now the HC has permitted them to use flashing lights on their vehicles the way PCR vans use them.
