Mangaluru: The department has decided to serve notice on those motorists for rash driving, riding without helmet, jumping traffic signal and other traffic violations in the city, said police commissioner S Murugan.
Collection of fine from the traffic rules violators will be based on CCTV and surveillance camera footages on daily basis in the city. They can pay the fine at respective traffic police stations, said commissioner.
Around 140 wheel locks are being used to avoid parking of vehicles on footpath and by the roadside, especially in ‘no parking’ zones. Traffic density is increasing in Hampankatta junction, Nantoor and Pumpwell Circle. Though the department is finding temporary solutions, information has been conveyed to the Highway authorities, Murugan said.
Night patrolling is not regular because of various reasons. The police would take steps to improve the service and staff would go on night beats at least thrice in a month. The process of installation of CCTV cameras is still at the government level, he said.
Meanwhile, the police commissioner said that each station was adopting one village to build strong public relations.
