Delhi Police to videograph challaning of HR buses

Chandigarh, Dec 7 (UNI) The Delhi Police will videograph the challaning of the Haryana Roadways (HR) buses in Delhi to curb the alleged arbitrariness in this regard.

An official spokesman today said challaning data would be analysed minutely to identify causes for frequent challaning of the Haryana Roadways buses plying in the national capital.

This was decided during a meeting of the officers of Haryana Transport Department and Delhi Police convened yesterday at the Police headquarters Delhi to sort out the issue.

The meeting was attended by the Joint Commissioner (Traffic) Delhi Qmar Ahmed, Haryana Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary (Transport) Ramendra Jakhu and Haryana Transport Commissioner M Ramsekhar.

The Delhi Police would participate in the road safety cum drivers training workshop and the Haryana Roadways would organise for its drivers to share the concerns of the traffic police and to educate and impress upon them of traffic discipline.

Quarterly review meetings would take place between the officials of the two departments to take stock of the progress.

It was also decided that neither organisation would encourage ticketless travel or violation of rules on the road.

Close monitoring of violators would be carried out and a dossier of violators would be maintained for taking action based on the analysis of data.

Mr Jakhu said that keeping in view the convenience of the passengers Transport Department of Delhi would be requested to construct small secondary bus stands at peripheral places like Karnal Mor, Peeragarhi, Dhaula Kuan and Ashram.
