The Hyderabad police on Thursday, May 7, announced plans to auction 1,130 abandoned and unclaimed vehicles that have remained unattended across the city. The move will be carried out under Section 7 of the Hyderabad (Metropolitan Area) Police Act, 2004, along with Section 40 of the Hyderabad City Police Act.

Vehicle Owners Given Six-Month Deadline

According to the Hyderabad police, individuals who believe any of the listed vehicles belong to them can still come forward and make a claim before the auction process begins. Authorities clarified that owners or interested persons must submit their applications to the Commissioner of Police at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) in Banjara Hills.

"Anyone having any objection or is interested in any of these vehicles may submit an application before the Commissioner of Police, at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) at Banjara Hills and claim the vehicle within a period of six months from the date of proclamation, failing which the vehicles will be auctioned," said a press release from the Hyderabad police.

Auction To Take Place After Notice Period

Police officials said the auction will only be conducted after the completion of the six-month notice period issued through the public proclamation. Authorities added that the process is aimed at clearing abandoned vehicles occupying police station premises and public spaces across Hyderabad.

The department also confirmed that details of all vehicles identified for auction have already been uploaded on the Hyderabad police website for public reference.
