Ensure smooth traffic on roads, traffic cops told

Ludhiana, January 7

The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Traffic, Karnail Singh, today held a meeting with cops deployed in the traffic zone two and four in the city. In the meeting, cops were told to ensure that city’s traffic runs smoothly otherwise they would be held responsible for snarls.

The ACP first held interaction with traffic cops at the Police Lines and after listening to their problems, he assured to sort out their issues. Some traffic cops said when they stop commuters for traffic violation, they misbehave with them and level false allegations of demanding bribe. On this, the ACP told cops to discharge their duty honestly and not to bow to any pressure while issuing challans.

The ACP told cops that they must ensure no ambulance or fire brigade vehicle gets stuck on road. Whenever they notice any such emergency vehicle, a clear passage should be given to it, the ACP added. — TNS
