From A Correspondent

THOUBAL | Aug 17

A Tata magic and a Honda Activa kept inside the residential premises of one Md. Sabir Ahamed (27), son of Md. Saferula (55) was set ablaze by unknown miscreants in the intervening night of August 15 and 16.

Award for good drivers announced

By A Staff Reporter

IMPHAL | Aug 17

Good drivers will be awarded under legal service authority and traffic police from September first, announced superintendent of police, traffic wing Imphal city, Khoisnam Sarma Devi during a one day interaction programme on traffic rules and regulations held today at Nongpok Ingkhol community hall, New Checkon.

Addressing the interaction programme, Sarma said Manipur is a poor state, most of the people are day earners who are struggling for livelihood. People who commit crimes get punishment according to their crime but people who get injured or dead due to accident get punishment without committing any crime.

She said people need to follow traffic rules cautiously and should co-operate with traffic police. Traffic police are not meant to harass the public, if public co-operate with traffic rules and regulation then no one will meet the fatal accident as well as people can get free from traffic congestion.

“Everyone blamed passenger vehicles for congestion of traffic but people who park their vehicles without at will also cause congestion of traffic. Passenger vehicles have their assigned parking lot by their association and the passenger vehicle drivers should also follow the rules and regulation of traffic in order to make an accident free society,” Sarma added.

She said traffic police punished the public or the passenger vehicles in order to follow rules and regulation made by government. Public should keep in their minds that punishment for breaking the traffic rules is for the welfare of public and to get free from accident, she said.

Sarma further said after September anyone personal or passenger vehicle owner found with complete document and proper equipment will be awarded with a certificate. The certificate will be given by legal service authority with superintendent of police traffic wing, Imphal city. And those who get the certificates five times consecutively will be given state level award, she said.

Imphal East traffic police, officer-in-charge, Y. Santa Singh said with the advancement of technology number of vehicles has been increasing each day. Public also need to understand the rules and regulation of traffic to get free from fatal accident.

The passenger vehicle driver should wear shoes instead of sandals because wearing sandals might cause accident if it gets stuck to the accelerator or other parts of the vehicle.

People should pay fine fully for breaking the rules. The fine that traffic police collected is deposited at the treasury office, he added.

The awareness programme was organised by New Lambulane Tribal Market Auto Rickshaw (Petrol) Association.

Vice-chairman, New Lambulane Welfare Committee, Sumpi Morish, head master of Kasom Khullen High School, Shyamkishore also attended the function.
