Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 13- The ambitious drive launched by the Traffic cops to rid the public transport of their music system has failed to deliver on the ground.
Within few days after the traffic cops had launched an over ambitious drive to rid the pubic transport vehicles of their music systems, majority of matadors plying on different routes across the city have reinstalled or bought new music systems to entertain their passengers.
Few days ago the traffic cops along with senior district police officers had carried out a special drive of deinstalling music systems from the public transport buses. Ironically, paying little or no attention to the directives and strict warning issued by the traffic cops to drivers and conductors majority of them are running music system much to the chagrin of commuters.
The traffic cops had carried out the exercise after large number of commuters has complained to the senior cops through writing complaints to rid the public transport system of this menace.
For few days the transporters and owners of these matadors’ exercised self control but majority of them surrendered before the wishes of their operators who were pushing hard to install.
The arguments given by these operators to their promoters were very straight that music is the only source of entertainment for us as we bear unbearable heat for long hours.
After listening to their arguments the owners of these matadors allowed their drives to install music systems but added a single liner rider not to play vulgar songs at high volume and listen to the suggestions of commuters in this regard. When contacted senior traffic cops on duty across Jammu admitted that we cannot stop every matador owner from installing music systems.
The traffic police officer said our job is to restrict use of music systems which largely creates noise pollution and from time to time we carry out regular checks and challan matador operators for violating MVA norms.
