Mangaluru: ACP Tilakchandra has taken action against those violating the traffic norms, after Newskarnataka published a story on December 5 regarding commuters plying by “No Entry” zone.
Speaking to Newskarnataka, ACP Tilakchandra said, “We have issued notices to those who violated the norms and have collected fine from them. Also they were produced before the court. I have also instructed Kadri inspector to take action against all those who violate the norms and make the signboard more visible and bold enough.”
He has also assured of taking stringent action against those violating traffic norms and thereby causing inconvenience to the people, near the sleek path near Padua College, leading to Sarbathkatte which is partially concretised and half of it remains in bits and pieces. People travel through this path to save time and reach early by evading the traffic near KPT.
The movement of heavy vehicles is restricted on the road and the traffic police have also installed a signboard saying, “NO ENTRY FOR HEAVY VEHICLES” just for namesake. The authorities have also turned a blind eye to the erratic parking of vehicles here and the situation turns chaotic during the peak hours. The two-wheelers and cars jostle for space with heavy vehicles commuting despite restriction. The heavy vehicles pass through that road creating a mess to all the other commuters on that path.
Many heavy vehicles including school buses, tempo travellers, tipper lorries and trucks pass through this road throughout the day. The menacing traffic at KPT and Nanthoor circle is the primary reason for the heavy vehicles to take this route. Though time is saved, a lot of inconvenience is caused to the people who travel by light vehicles.
