local MP Kirron Kher on Wednesday asked the city residents to follow the traffic rules to prevent road mishaps in Chandigarh.
launching the directory and website of Chandigarh Transport Association (CTA), Kher said the traffic rules of the British rule were in vogue till now, but now the Government has come with the Road Transport Safety Bill 2014. It would improve the transport rules and the traffic system. After the bill is passed, anyone helping those injured in mishap would not be questioned by the police. Kher also asked the transporters not to overload the vehicles, fix reflectors and obey traffic rules.
She averred that the transport sector had great contribution in taking forward the development and the economy of the country. The BJP had always worked for the development of the transport sector. During former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s rule, roads were laid and flyovers constructed, she added.On the occasion, Chandigarh BJP president Sanjay Tandon congratulated the Association for bringing out the directory and opined that this would be the big relief to the people.
Without the transport sector’s assistance, the nation could not move forward. BJP always worked in the interest of the people, proof of which was that the Administration lowered the VAT on diesel from 12.68 to 9.74 percent, he said.
