In the past seven months, the maximum number of traffic violations were detected on Dakshin Marg in the city. If figures provided by the Chandigarh Police are to be believed, of the total 18,129 CCTV challans issued in this period, 11,763 were issued to traffic violators on Dakshin Marg alone. This information was submitted in the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday by the Chandigarh Police in the form of an affidavit on the issue of non-implementation of traffic rules by Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana.
Of all the roundabouts, Labour Chowk, which is the intersection of Sectors 20/21/33/34, reported the maximum number of challans. While 5,190 traffic violators were fined on the Labour Chowk, the Gurdwara Chowk at Sector 20/30/31/32 intersection stands second in the list with 3,772 cases of fine. The Tribune Chowk reported 2,801 challans. All the three roundabouts are on the Dakshin Marg.
“Most number of traffic violations are witnessed on Dakshin Marg, which is a very busy traffic zone. Commuters from Mohali and other areas of Punjab are challaned for not complying with traffic norms,” said a traffic police inspector while speaking to Newsline .
The CCTV cameras caught me and my brother on a scooter without helmet on June 6. It was in August that the challan was delivered to me by post. The challan had an incorrect date as we had gone for Amarnath Yatra on the day the challan claimed that we had been violators. It was found that the cops had mistakenly altered the date from June 6 to July 7 in the challan.
A police officer said according to the initial agreement the company was required to provide a software that only captured vehicles jumping red lights and flashed a signal on a screen installed at the control room at the Sector 29 Traffic Police Lines. After receiving the signal the operator in the control room had to complete the entire process of preparing a ‘challan’ (fine) and dispatch it to the vehicle owner’s address.
