Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai issues statement in Legislative Council
Bengaluru: If you have not violated any traffic law, the Traffic Police cannot stop you just to check your documents. Home Minister
Basavaraj Bommai has said that the Traffic Police are not supposed to ask for vehicle documents after they stop the vehicles in the middle of the road.
He was answering JD(S) MLC H.M. Ramesh Gowda’s query during ‘Question Hour’ in the Legislative Council yesterday.
“It has come to my notice that the Traffic Police are stopping the vehicles in the middle of the road in instances of the traffic rules violation. Police should take precautionary measures to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents while stopping vehicles. Policies should be followed in such situations. In this regard, suitable directions have been given to the Department,” he said.
Police sources said that the commissionerate procured the cameras when Pandurang Rane was the twin cities’ top cop.
HUBBALLI: Several motorists continue to drive irresponsibly, with scant regard for both their safety and that of their fellow commuters. Now, in a bid to reduce accidents on the roads of Hubballi-Dharwad, the commissionerate of the twin cities has, since February 22, started using Radar-based speed detection cameras.
In addition to helping cops enforce traffic rules more effectively, the top brass in the twin cities’ police department hopes this will make Hubballi-Dharwad roads considerably safer.
Among the many advantages of the new cameras is the marked reduction in manual intervention. Images captured by the cameras of over-speeding vehicles will automatically be uploaded to the Traffic Management Centre. A challan for the fine amount will be automatically generated, and dispatched to the owner of the vehicle.
