Hi All,
Many a violations are done by Police personnel themselves and the MTC buses. I have seen many Police personnel in uniform going on bike without wearing helmet, riding their bikes on the wrong side of the road, even where concrete medians are there, driving jeeps and other four-wheelers on one ways. parking their vehicles on "No Parking" areas, etc. They do all these while wearing their uniform or with the vehicles clearly marked "POLICE." These people actually TEACH the public to violate the traffic regulations. Higher officials must punish these violators severely.
CCTP do not take any action on the MTC buses that violate traffic signals, fearing that they will immediately stop the bus and other MTC employees will also join them. To avoid this CCTP must get into an agreement with MTC to sue the violators. CCTP must prepare a challan for the violation and send it to MTC; MTC in turn must deduct the fine amount from the driver's salary and pay CCTP. MTC must also take stringent action on habitual violators.
The third major issue is corruption. Many RI's take bribe from the violators and let them go.
Last but not the least is the VIPs, VVIP's, Advocates, party people. CCTP dare to take action against these people.
The best thing the CCTP can do is to install high resolution cameras in all signals and have a central team to analyse and fine all the vehicles that violate the regulations. This way there won't be any unnecessary arguments on the road; the Police personnel on duty cannot take bribe. CCTP can recover the investment in a short period of time.
I invite other people to express their views.
