Sopore, May 03 (KNO): To streamline vehicular movement and tackle growing traffic congestion in Sopore, Police on Saturday intensified the traffic enforcement drive across the town, issuing 79 challans and shutting down unauthorised vehicle stands. An official informed the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that a total of 79 challans were issued against those found flouting various traffic regulations during the day-long operation. These included 72 two-wheelers, 2 three-wheelers, and 5 four-wheelers. The drive was carried out under the supervision of the newly appointed Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sopore, Iftkhar Talib. The police also dismantled several unauthorised Sumo and Eco Van stands that were reportedly causing major obstructions and public inconvenience. Residents had complained about traffic snarls, blaming the existence of unregulated vehicle stands for the worsening situation. Speaking at a public gathering earlier on Friday, SSP Iftkhar Talib reaffirmed his commitment to enforcing the rule of law, saying that violators, irrespective of their identity, will be dealt with firmly. “The action will apply to everyone — even police vehicles must follow traffic rules. No sirens or rule-breaking will be allowed unless it’s an emergency,” the SSP said. Meanwhile, police urged the general public to cooperate with authorities and strictly adhere to traffic regulations to ensure safer and smoother commuting for all—(KNO)
