The Haridwar Transport Department issued 69 challans and seized 9 vehicles during an intensive checking campaign carried out to promote passenger safety and compliance with traffic rules during the festive season.
The enforcement operation was led by Assistant Regional Transport Officer (Enforcement) Neha Jha. Teams checked vehicles in Shyampur, Rishikul, Jagjeetpur, Missarpur, Devpura and the SIDCUL area, among other locations.
Vehicles and violations checked
The inspection covered goods carriers, buses, motor cabs, e-rickshaws, 3-wheelers and 2-wheelers. Officials took action against vehicles involved in several traffic and transport violations.
The violations included overloading, carrying more passengers than the permitted capacity, and operating without a valid permit. Action was also taken against goods vehicles carrying passengers.
Drivers operating vehicles without an effective driving licence, insurance or required documents also faced challans. The campaign further covered vehicles being driven in the wrong lane, parking at prohibited locations and operating without reflectors.
Transport officials also acted against drivers who failed to present records related to vehicle tax. The source material does not specify how many of the 69 challans related to each individual violation.
Appeal to drivers
Neha Jha urged vehicle operators to follow transport and traffic rules and cooperate with enforcement teams during checking. The department’s campaign focused on a range of vehicle categories and violations across Haridwar areas.
The action means drivers and operators found violating permit, documentation, passenger-capacity, parking or road-safety requirements may face enforcement measures during the checking campaign.
Conclusion
Haridwar’s Transport Department issued 69 challans and seized 9 vehicles after checking multiple vehicle categories across several areas. The campaign targeted overloading, permit and document violations, unsafe practices and other traffic-rule breaches.
