Mohali, February 16
Commuters and visitors to a private hospital are a harried lot as the road passing through the hospital and Vikas Bhawan in Sector 62 has been partially blocked by rope fencing on the one side and vehicles parked on the other side. Because of this, only a lane is left for commuters on each side.
Fortis Hospital authorities said: “The Mohali traffic police had issued a notice regarding illegal parking of vehicles outside the entrance to the hospital following which the rope fencing was done.”
DSP (Traffic) Guriqbal Singh said: “I was busy on election duty for the past one week so I was unaware of the exact situation. We will ensure that road users are not inconvenienced due to illegal parking.”
Road safety awareness
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, in collaboration with the district administration, organised a road safety awareness session for drivers.
The session was addressed by Sukhvinder Kumar, Secretary, RTA, Mohali. He talked at length about adhering to the road safety norms.
On the occasion, Swaraj Tractors also donated helmets to the RTO office to be distributed among college students. Representatives of the Mohali Traffic Cell also sensitised the employees to Dos and Don’ts of road safety.
Earlier, the RTO had organised awareness rallies at the Phase 5, Industrial Area, and Swaraj Foundry in Majri.
