Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi emphasised on the need to develop traffic discipline in every citizen of the city and asked traffic policemen to start prosecuting two-wheeler riders for not wearing helmets even on residential lanes.
Bassi was speaking at the inauguration of the Road Safety Pavilion of Delhi Traffic Police at the India International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan here on Saturday.
“Traffic is the prime issue which the public has to face in their daily life. Every citizen, including children, is affected by this. There is a need to develop traffic discipline in each and every residents of the city,” he said.
He emphasised on prosecution of traffic violators and stressed that 2015 should be the year of quality prosecution. “Traffic violations such as disobeying stop-line, jumping red lights, etc. should be given special attention. Traffic policemen need to check and prosecute two-wheeler riders/pillion riders for not wearing helmets on residential streets itself, so that nobody can come on road without wearing helmet. Also helmet should be properly strapped to avoid any mishap,” he said.
