The Bihar Transport Department has issued a directive requiring all vehicle owners to remove any caste-related words, stickers, or phrases from their vehicles by June 5, 2026. This initiative aims to promote equality and curb caste-based discrimination. Violators may face fines of ₹500 under Section 177 and up to ₹2,000 under Section 179 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Following the grace period, traffic police will initiate a state-wide enforcement drive, conducting intensified checks across all roads and intersections. Additionally, Bihar will implement an AI-powered traffic monitoring system, deploying over 1,000 AI-enabled cameras in cities such as Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, and Darbhanga to aid in compliance efforts. District Transport Officers have been tasked with ensuring adherence to this order throughout the state.
