He advised motorcyclists to wear helmets and vehicle owners to display approved number plates. He warned that authorities will continue to take indiscriminate action against violators.
The policies and procedures relating to traffic management that have been taken by the local government are EXCELLENT. Unfortunately our society thinks ‘its our country, we can do what we want’ … NO YOU CANT!… Please ensure stricker crackdowns and increase the challan for ONE-WAY violations. Our society needs to respect and understand the law!… ONLY then can it become a ‘civilised’ society. (But unfortunately most are uneducated and the govt will have to assist on that regard)
