GUWAHATI: On January 13, Rupin Sharma, Nagaland's Director General of Police tweeted a photo of a vehicle bearing two number plates of two different states.
While the first licence plate identifies the car as a Nagaland vehicle bearing the number NL-01-CA-5957, the second one was an Assam registration bearing the number AS-01-BY-0228.
The tweet read, “Yeh mere India, One Bolero with two registration number plate.”

The post has received more than 50,000 views and has taken the Internet by storm.
In India, all motor vehicles are obliged by law to carry a vehicle registration plate which is issued by the appropriate state's district-level District Transport Office (DTO), where the first two alphabets identify the state code where the vehicle was registered.
Registration numbers that are allotted to the vehicle owners are unique on the basis of the chassis number, colour, model, etc of the vehicle and hence it’s not allowed for any vehicle to have two separate number plates.
