Ambedkar Nagar: In an innovative twist on wedding transportation, brothers Ishwardeen and Parmeshwardeen from Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh converted an old Maruti Suzuki Wagon R into a helicopter with the intention of providing a unique experience for the bride and groom. However, his enthusiasm was short-lived as his modified vehicle was confiscated by the traffic police for not following transport rules, sparking a conversation about creativity and regulation.
The customized vehicle, designed to stand out in wedding processions, was equipped with a rotor blade on the roof and a tail boom attached to the boot, mimicking the design of a helicopter. The purpose of this inventive modification was not only to offer stylish wedding transportation but also to boost the family’s income. Unfortunately, the traffic police stopped the ‘helicopter car’ near Akbarpur bus stand saying that these modifications were made without proper permission from the transport authorities.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Vishal Pandey said that the vehicle was seized under Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act as permission for modification was not received from the RTO department. Due to implementation of Model Code of Conduct, vehicle checking is being done continuously, during which the modified car was discovered. Despite the initial seizure, the vehicle was later released upon payment of a fine, allowing the brothers to get their innovative creation back.
The incident has sparked discussion about the balance between creativity and adherence to legal standards. While the brothers’ initiative demonstrates an impressive level of ingenuity, it also highlights the challenges faced by individuals attempting to innovate within the confines of the regulatory framework. The episode is a reminder of the importance of obtaining the necessary permissions before starting such creative ventures, ensuring that innovation can flourish without legal barriers.
