Enforcement drive conducted against illegal parking & excessive fare by auto in Silchar

Sept. 29: Traffic congestion has become a routine affair in Silchar, especially in the Municipal areas of the town. Very often vehicles are parked in such a place which creates chaos in the streets and thereby gives rise to artificial vehicular traffic. Lack of proper parking places in major areas of Silchar is definitely a genuine cause which the civic authorities have evaded since good number of years. Moreover, when huge private vehicles are parked haphazardly, the problem of traffic congestion becomes multiplied.

Over and above, the common people now have also become frustrated at the excessive fare charged by the e-rickshaws and auto-rickshaws in Silchar. Such allegations are made off and on by the commuters. It is in this backdrop that Keerthi Jalli, Deputy Commissioner of Cachar instructed the concerned departments to take immediate necessary action against those who are involved in illegal parking and also against the three-wheelers charging excessive fare from the passengers.

It is in this connection that an enforcement drive was conducted on Tuesday in Hospital Road area of Silchar against illegal parking and also against e-rickshaws and auto-rickshaws for charging excessive fare and non compliance of social distancing. In the drive, a total of 11 vehicles were seized by a team led by the District Transport Officer (DTO) in cooperation with the police department.
