A delegation of businessmen led by BJP leader Umesh Aggarwal met the Dehradun SSP Dr Sadanand Date and raised businessmen’s concerns related to ban on entry of two wheelers in Paltan Bazaar area.
Aggarwal informed the SSP that businessmen of Paltan Bazaar are disappointed over ban of vehicles from 2 pm and 8 pm in Paltan Bazaar area. After enforcement of this order, their businesses have been adversely affected. He said that police may impose challan if any businessmen have encroached the road and
footpath. The businessmen would help the police to impose challan on footpath encroachers, he assured.
Dehradun SSP Sadanand Shankar Rao Date said that traffic plan has been drafted to improve the traffic system in the city. The district traffic officers have been directed to generate parking space in the city. As festive season is approaching nearer, the time for entry of two- wheelers in the Bazaar has been changed. Now ban of vehicles will be between 4 pm and 8 pm. Earlier, it was between 2 pm and 8 pm. Parking space for vehicles will be fixed to avoid inconveniences to the visitors.
Police would continue to impose challans on businessmen who are caught encroaching road and footpath. Vendors encroached the footpath will be challaned. Several steps are in the pipeline for improving tariff system in the state capital. Police would continue to work for traffic enforcement in the city, he added.
