JAMMU | NOV 23
It has been reported that the Traffic Police Department is running short of Compound Books due to which even the matter of small offence is registered in Chalan Books and handed over to the court With the introduction of this new system, Traffic Police has left a major room for the corruption as alleged by the motor vehicle operators of city particularly and those of adjacent areas in general.
As per the reports, all the six DTIs appointed in and around the city have been directed that each one of the six DTIs are bound to chalan 40 cases per day at any cost. That is why even the small offences are referred to the court now- a -days. But the major issue, which has emerged out of it, is that the non-state subjects and non-residents of the state have been made the scapegoats whenever they visit the city with their own vehicles they have to bear the ire of new norms as the minor offences like wrong parking are liable to happen. In order to avoid any type of hustle and bustle of courts on their part they prefer to warm the pockets of Traffic Police officials with petty amounts.
While talking to EARLY TIMES, one Sidhartha from New Delhi, who recently visited the city of temples after his return from Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, stated that he had to offer petty amount to the Traffic Police official at one of the most important Parking center in the heart of city. “Being an outsider in the state I had to offer ‘Nazrana’ to avoid time consuming exercise of the court’, he added.
Similarly the president of Auto Rikshah Operators Union in the city, Shanti Swaroop said that the present system has many loopholes and has left the doors open for corruption, as every one is reluctant to move courts to save time and expenditure on the advocates. “Obviously the next best option to every one is to grease the palms of Traffic Police.” he said and added that prevailing system of Traffic Police has set a system of “Andeer Nageri Choopat Raja”. He also appealed the government to intervene into the matter.
EARLY TIMES when contacted SSP Traffic Police, SA Wattali over the phone he admitted shortage of the Compound Books earlier adding that the shortage of the relevant books has been compensated and as of now the offenders are being punished through Compound Books and Chalans.
Talking over the question of trouble caused to non-state subjects, he said that if any DTI happens to be with out a Compound book, the concerned official could manage the book from other officials also. He also added that in the wake of any other such problem people could have a direct talk with him.
