Police have started noting down the numbers and details of all beacon-fitted vehicles spotted at major crossings in the city, sources in the traffic department said.
All the 25 traffic guards in Calcutta have been instructed to deploy civic volunteers at major intersections and manually note down the registration number, the make of the car, the details on the board on the windscreen if available and the colour of beacon fitted on it. The data is being collected every day at the respective traffic guards.

The move, which started on Tuesday, came a week after all the police stations were asked to compile a list of government officials in their respective jurisdictions eligible to use red or blue beacon-fitted vehicles.
