Hi Sir,
Im very much happy to hear that I received a feedback call from ACP Office, and extremely sorry to say that, Our traffic constables are not performing their duties properly, instead they are doing OT’s, I mean, instead of controlling the traffic on roads, they are just standing at a corner side and simply clicking the photos of vehicles who are not following the rules, and sometimes they are clicking the photos of vehicles which are parked in the parking area’s, and mentioning it as “Parked at No Parking”
Its seems that it’s the only job for traffic constables to take photos on the roads, First we should follow the rules, and later tell others to follow. Its my humble request to you sir, kindly look into this ASAP.
