Guwahati: Citizens of Guwahati won’t be subject to e-challan charges for five to six days.
This was announced by Guwahati Police Commissioner Harmeet Singh on Thursday.
CP Singh announced the news at a press conference since the public is finding it difficult to understand and adapt to the new traffic regulations after the newly adopted Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS).
He pleaded with municipal residents to assist with traffic control.
New traffic management measures include parking cars in a single line on GS Road, forbidding city buses from stopping anywhere other than designated bus stops, prohibiting parking in front of schools and shopping centres, and more.
He also mentioned the issues that the city’s residents were having as a result of the installation of flyovers everywhere.
Moreover, he mentioned the growth in crime in the city as a result of family disputes. 37 murder instances were reported in Guwahati over the previous six months.
He added that while the main office is built, the Commissioner of Police’s office will work out of the Police Reserve, Crime Branch, and Vigilance. The Commissioner of Police’s office will be vacated in 15 days.
Earlier on August 23, ITMS was implemented in 20 locations of Guwahati which include Paltanbazar, Nepali Temple, Ulubari, Bhangaghar, ABC Point, Srinagar Point, Ganeshguri, Super Market, Six Mile, VIP Road, Khanapara Flyover, Last Gate, Jayanagar Point, Ganesh Mandir and Rajdhani Mosque.
