JAMMU: Legal Metrology Jammu on Thursday stopped the use of all in motion and static weigh bridges installed at Toll Plaza Ban as the said instruments were found in running condition without having accuracy certificate issued by the Department. According to Deputy Controller Legal Metrology Enforcement, an application for verification was received from the M/s Metro Infrasys Pvt Ltd New Delhi which installed the said in motion weigh bridges few months back and the said firm was asked to furnish the model approval for 120 tones issued by Government of India and make necessary technical arrangements for verification, which the said firm was unable to produce and showed its inability to make available suitable test van. Subsequently the said firm issued another letter for the verification of the same weighbridges having accuracy of 100 tones. It came to the notice of the department that revenue collection from the said un-verified weighbridges have become operative without getting the accuracy of the said weighbridges duly verified by the department and receipt issued were also not showing weight. Accordingly a team of officer visited the spot and stopped the use of such unverified weighbridges. It was also found that static weigh bridges were installed with indicator of another company making accuracy more doubtful.
