Early Times Report

KATHUA, Sept 21: As flouting traffic rules especially by youth and teenage school going students is growing day by day, the Traffic Police has pulled up its socks to check the menace.
In its endeavour to check unabated traffic violations in Kathua city and its peripheries particularly by the school going minors', DTI Sarbjeet Singh Andotra said that Traffic Police is not going to adopt any leniency in this regard.
Andotra while speaking to Early Times informed that in order to discourage those who are habitual offenders, his team today booked more than twenty students who were found violating traffic rules.
DTI further said that people keep on castigating Traffic Police of turning a Nelson's eye towards the traffic rules violations. However, whenever Traffic Police or other law enforcing agencies perform their duty, it is those people who allege them to be harsh. "The school going students are the one, who are ahead of everybody found involved in violation of traffic rules. Such type of minors not only makes themselves to face danger, however, put the life of other commuters and pedestrians too in hazard", he added. "There has been considerable increase in traffic violations and accidents mostly involving youth and minors in the City. Now, Traffic Police is adopting various measures to curb this menace", DTI said. He further added that stunt biking has emerged as one of the major challenges for the traffic. Stunk biking is usually in isolated places of the City including some lonely areas of the city.
The traffic police had devised a strategy to check the menace by intensifying patrolling in private vehicles in such areas. "It is fervent appeal to parents not to provide bikes or cars to their minor wards. Parental control is imperative to prevent road accident involving minors," he added. Moreover, the parents should also know, as per the ruling of Supreme Court if a minor commits an accident, it is the owner of the vehicle, who will be responsible.
It is better that the parents should avoid this thing for the sake of their children and for the safety of others.
