He asked them to halt the traffic only during the night when traffic is very lean and minimal. He underscored the need for creating minimum obstacles for the movement of traffic during all these days.
Dr Mehta directed the traffic police to strictly maintain lane discipline on the road and take all the steps against the violators including e-Challaning. He asked them to act tough on those resorting to road side parking. He also took note of the stagnant trucks found between Malpora and Qazigund stretch of the National Highway and remarked that the same should be looked into and found a solution for.

He asked them to procure all the road safety gear and methods for better surveillance of roads in the UT. He also instructed for the wearing of body-worn cameras and use of motorcycles and interceptors by the traffic police cops on duty.

It was also said that an amount of Rs 152.00 lakhs is being spent on acquiring of other traffic equipment.
