Srinagar, June 07 : On the first day of Eid-ul-Azha, the Srinagar City Traffic Police launched a stringent drive against underage and unlicensed riders.
The operation, led by DySP Traffic City Srinagar, Mehboob-ul-Haq, resulted in the seizure of dozens of two-wheelers from minors and individuals riding without valid licenses on the busy Boulevard Road.
The move is part of a broader safety initiative to curb rash driving and prevent road accidents, especially during festive occasions when roads witness heightened activity.
Addressing the media, DySP Mehboob-ul-Haq urged parents to take responsibility and ensure that minors are not allowed to ride two-wheelers or drive four-wheelers without a valid driving license.
He emphasized that such violations not only endanger the life of the rider but also pose a serious threat to public safety.
Legal action has been initiated against the violators under relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
