26 fined for breaking speed limits

Amritsar, December 28

The Amritsar police have procured speed radars to check speeding. A day after the trial run of the device, the traffic police challaned 26 persons for over speeding.

The police laid a naka on Elevated Road that has become an accident prone area. “During checking, we found people travelling at 100 km per hour. Over speeding has led to several fatal road mishaps on the busy Elevated Road,” said Dhruman Nimable, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic). The police intercepted around 40 persons for over speeding. However, several of them, who were not from Amritsar, were let off after being issued a warning.
Several people were seen arguing with the police. The people, who have been challaned, would have to go to court. They would be penalised around Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000, said Nimbale.—TNS
