Siliguri, 07th February: The Bhaktinagar Traffic Guard of Siliguri Metropolitan Police conducted a special operation on Friday to tackle traffic congestion and illegal parking in the city.
Despite implementing several measures such as routing e-rickshaws on designated routes and marking parking zones, many drivers continue to park vehicles indiscriminately, causing severe traffic congestion. Acting on public complaints, traffic police launched a drive on Sevoke Road with a recovery van.
On the first day of the drive, no vehicles were seized or fined, and offenders were let off with a warning. The Siliguri Metropolitan Police Traffic Guard informed that similar drives will be carried out continuously to manage traffic more effectively and reduce congestion in the city.
