On the request of the Traffic Police the Chief Secretary urged the NHAI to carryout the repair works on the shooting-stone prone stretches of the road for 4 hours within a period of 5 days from coming Friday (3:00-7:00 am). He asked them to halt the traffic only during the night when traffic is very lean and minimum. He underscored the need for creating minimum obstacles for the movement of traffic during all these days.
Dr Mehta directed the traffic police to strictly maintain lane discipline on the road and take all the steps against the violators including e-Challaning. He asked them to act tough on those resorting to road side parking. He also took note of the stagnant trucks found between Malpora and Qazigund stretch of the National Highway and remarked that the same should be looked into and found solution for.
The meeting was informed that the procurement of 213 bikes (one for each police station), 110 Royal Enfield bikes, 23 cranes, 20 mobile vehicle interceptors, 16 highway patrolling vehicles has been completed and their retrofitting is going on for their customized use. It was also said that an amount of Rs 152.00 lakhs is being spent on acquiring of other traffic equipment.
