Traffic department to restart 'failed' special sticker policy 2/22/2016 12:43:06 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 21: Traffic police are contemplating to restart 'failed' special sticker policy for the tourist vehicles coming to the state for a specified period of time. "The special sticker policy of the department is targeted to benefit specific individual, otherwise revisiting once failed policy sounds absurd, stated officer wishing anonymity. Earlier, in a bid to avoid inconvenience, Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police mulled to issue special stickers to the tourist vehicles. ''The vehicles (private LMVs as well as commercial passenger vehicles) coming from outside the State carrying tourists and pilgrims and entering into the State by road via Lakhanpur shall be stopped for checking of documents only by an officer of the rank of Inspector and above,'' Traffic Police Headquarters in a communication issued here said. According to officers within the department, the scheme which was launched a few years back unfortunately was failed by none other than the men in blue (traffic cops) due to their vested interests. A few days back, in a communication issued by the Traffic Police Headquarters, it is informed that the vehicles (private LMVs as well as commercial passenger vehicles) coming from outside the State carrying tourists/pilgrims and entering into the State by road via Lakhanpur shall be stopped for checking of documents only by an officer of the rank of Inspector (DTI) and above. The officer after checking the relevant documents shall issue a sticker for the permitted vehicles having validity for fifteen days or for single entry/exit, whichever is earlier from the date of checking of documents of the vehicle. These vehicles having the sticker thereafter shall not be checked at any subsequent traffic check post by any officer except of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police and above during the validity period of the sticker.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
