| 'Traffic restrictions have made movement miserable' | | PDP objects to male cops frisking women's belongings | |
Srinagar, August 21 – Strongly disapproving the practice of male cops frisking the personal belongings of the woman, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for immediate end to such grossly objectionable practice.
"Wherever necessary, only female cops must check the personal belongings of the women, especially their hand-bags," a PDP spokesman said in a statement here today. Taking strong exception to the reports that the male cops frequently indulge in searches of the personal belongings of the woman at various places, especially in view of the heightened security because of the ensuing assembly session, the PDP spokesman said that such actions of the police and the security forces are outrageous and should be stopped forthwith. "The Government must issue standing instructions to the police and other security agencies to stop this practice immediately," he said.
Expressing resentment over the tremendous inconvenience and hardships, the people are put to because of the restrictions on the movement of traffic in view of the assembly session, the spokesman said the Government must ensure that the people are not put to any trouble as over-enthusiastic security restrictions have almost crippled the civilian movement in the city. "To aggravate the miseries of the people are the vehicles of the security forces and police that are seen frequently violating the traffic restrictions in the city adding to the mess," he said and added that while people from all walks of life are affected by traffic jams, the patients are the worst hit.
Calling for streamlining the traffic movement in the city, the spokesman said the Government must immediately launch a drive to clear all the bottlenecks on important roads. He said the Government must also start construction of second bridge near the existing Zero Bridge to ease the traffic movement, as a major chunk of the traffic follows this road leading to unending jams. He also called for construction of more fly-overs in and around the city to facilitate smooth movement of traffic.
