Haryana: 4 truckers booked for wrong-side driving
Superintendent of police Aastha Modi has directed all station house officers to take strict action against traffic rule violations
Kaithal police have registered four separate cases against truck drivers for allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road, officials said on Saturday.
A police spokesperson said the action was taken during a checking drive launched to curb traffic violations.
During checking near Kalayat on National Highway-152, two cases were registered at Kalayat police station against Monu, a resident of Kalayat, and Krishna, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, for driving their trucks in the wrong direction.
In another incident, Titram police booked Narinder, a resident of Sangrur in Punjab, and Imran, from Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir, for wrong-side driving near Harsola cut and Kakaut cut, respectively, on the same highway.
Superintendent of police (SP) Aastha Modi has directed all station house officers to take strict action against traffic rule violations and vehicles parked on roads without valid reasons, saying such practices contribute to accidents.
“By flouting traffic rules, drivers not only endanger their own lives but also put others at risk. Lane violations increase the risk of road accidents and can cause traffic jams, creating further inconvenience for commuters,” the SP said.
