Students continue to flout rules in Tarn Taran

Tarn Taran, August 23

Underage drivers, especially school-going students, continue to flout rules on roads in the town. The traffic police seems to have turned a blind eye to blant violation of the Motor Vehicles Act.

The violators prefer deserted stretches to reach their destinations instead of main roads where traffic police are deployed. Karanjit Singh, a resident of the Jandiala Guru road, said, “Underage students violating traffic rules is common in the town.”

The district has no DSP (Traffic)-rank official. Sub-inspector Baljinder Singh, district traffic in-charge, refused to talk to about traffic violations when asked. ASI (Traffic) Bikram Singh said no challan was issued to underage drivers on Friday. SSP Gaurav Toora also did not respond to messages sent to inquire about traffic violation in the town.
