Jagran correspondent, Banda. Those who ignore traffic rules and perform stunts on the roads will no longer fare well. Now action will be taken in the blink of an eye and challan will be issued against driving under the influence of alcohol including without helmet, tripping, speeding etc. With the three new interceptor vehicles received by the Divisional Transport Department, action has now been started against those breaking the rules of driving on the road.
Vehicles that ignore the rules are being scanned by interceptors and e-challans are being sent home. Interceptor is not the name of a person or robot. Rather, it is a four-wheeler equipped with technical facilities, with which actions can be started easily, till now the youth used to escape by doing stunts during checking. So far, actions have been taken against 237 vehicles.
It became easier to take action against rule breakers
With the availability of three interceptor vehicles with the Divisional Transport Department of the district, it has now become easier to take action against those breaking traffic rules. These interceptor vehicles are being parked at intersections, and are scanning the vehicles and sending e-challans if they ignore the traffic rules of the vehicles passing through the road. This included vehicles without helmets, seat belts, drunken vehicles and overloaded vehicles. The interceptor vehicle will scan vehicles up to a distance of 500 meters.
Even if the maintenance of vehicles like indicators, head light, back light, brakes etc. is faulty, it will scan it. Apart from this, it will also keep an eye on helmets, seat belts and overloaded vehicles. The vehicles will be scanned through the interceptor and the challan will be delivered directly to the drivers' homes. Interceptor vehicles will be parked at intersections and markets every day and will take action against vehicles driving carelessly. With this hi-tech vehicle, it is certain that the increase in road accidents will be curbed to a great extent.
Action taken on 237 vehicles so far
237 vehicles were checked in three days at various intersections of the city including Bundelkhand Expressway. When 20 four wheelers were found over speeding, challans were issued for over speeding. Apart from this, 43 challans were issued for 85 without helmet, 18 without seatbelt, 27 for wrong side driving, 22 for using mobile phone while driving and other charges.
