Dehradun: The Road Transport Authority (RTA) on Friday issued challans to 35 three-wheelers (vikram autos and autorickshaws) and seized one for violating traffic norms in Dehradun. Road Transport Officer (RTO) Sunil Sharma said that to reduce traffic congestion within the 2-3 km radius of Clock Tower, they regularly monitor the vehicular movement in this perimeter and are now taking action against traffic violators. “Our main objectives of launching this campaign are to find out the cause of traffic congestion, make public transport safe and ensure that permit conditions are not violated,” the RTO said. Currently, 2,394 autos and 520 vikrams are plying on the city roads. Many vikrams and autos are running on these routes without permits. Officials said once these vehicles are equipped with GPS, the violators can be caught easily. During the drive, officials also found that about 25% of vikrams and autos have installed GPS, but they are not ready to give access to the transport department. “We will not allow them to flout traffic rules and every such vehicle plying within a 2-3 km radius of the clock tower will have to give us GPS access…,” the RTO said.
