CHENNAI: Car thieves will find it difficult to operate if a proposal for high security number plates and radio frequency identification tags is introduced. But the Centre and a majority of states, which had earlier initiated action to implement the hi-tech number plates proposal, have applied the brakes now. And M.S. Bitta, who heads the All India Anti-Terrorism Front, for one, is not happy. Contending that the long delays in the proposal first approved in 2001 have grave security implications, Mr. Bitta has launched a campaign on the number plates issue. This is bound to strike a chord with owners of the 15 lakh-plus vehicles in the city. The scheme envisages easy tracking and vehicular identification, making it virtually impossible to create duplicate plates. It leaves the power of selection of a manufacturer for the plates in the hands of the State Government. The high security plates cannot be reused or removed once fixed.
