The Police stopped three (3) truck: 0334 F5 03, 11HK3908, and 3988 F5 03 and delayed them because the police claimed the reflecting stickers on the trucks were worn out and insisted that they buy from a presumed Fire Officer who was with them.

- Progress update note

One of the drivers reported the matter to GSA.
GSA sought clarity on the matter from the Police. The latter claimed that they were carrying out an exercise of safety by checking fire extinguishers, warning triangles, first aid boxes, reflecting stickers. etc.
The Police also insisted that the driver either buys the item from the Fire Officer or get it in the nearest town.
GSA then cautioned that the exercise was a very good one but should look more like an education rather than forceful.
