In a circular dated September 28, it added that FIR will be lodged against the hirer of the private vehicle and action will be taken against the owner under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

However, non-erring vehicles or individual boarding the non-transport passenger vehicle should not by unduly harassed, it said.
