Kathmandu, 19 May: The traffic police have been calling traffic rule violators after going through CCTV footage. In the past one month, Metropolitan Traffic Police Division (MTPD) took action against 165 traffic rule violators.
MTPD officers have started calling people violating traffic rules on their mobile phones and slapping fines ranging from Rs 500 to 1,500. Traffic police also took action against 994 traffic rule violators on the spot upon being alerted by traffic controllers from Nepal Police CCTV control rooms.
According to The Himalayan Times daily, the traffic police calls each rule violator three times. If they do not respond, they blacklist their vehicles, and issue circular to the concerned traffic police. The violators’ documents are then seized. They can obtain the documents after paying the fine and attending a class on traffic rules and road safety.
