The Delhi Traffic Police has decided to deploy personnel at around 134 major intersections across the city on Holi on March 4. This move aims at strict enforcement against drunken driving and includes a provision for suspension of driving licences for a minimum of three months in cases of serious violations, police officials said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also issued a detailed traffic advisory. The police stated that special checking teams will be stationed at major junctions and vulnerable stretches to curb offences such as drunken driving, over-speeding, reckless and zig-zag driving, red-light jumping, triple riding, riding without helmets, and performing stunts on two-wheelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the directions of the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety, in any case of drunken driving, red-light jumping, using a mobile phone while driving, dangerous driving, or over-speeding, the driving licence of the individual will be seized and will be liable for suspension for at least three months, the advisory stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the police will take action against registered owners if their vehicles are found to be driven by minors or any unauthorized persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ACP Dinesh Gupta said that elaborate arrangements have been put in place to ensure pedestrian and motorist safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cKeeping the Holi festival in mind, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued a detailed traffic management plan. Our staff will be deployed at around 134 major intersections. Personnel will remain present across key areas, and senior officers will supervise the arrangements. Our primary focus will be to prevent drunken driving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also mentioned that strict action would be taken against those driving without helmets, driving on the wrong side, or indulging in dangerous driving. \u201cWe will make every possible effort to curb all traffic violations, and appropriate action will be taken wherever violations are found,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the advisory, PCR vans and local police teams will assist traffic personnel in maintaining norms across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
