Srinagar: As a concerted effort to tackle the mounting issue of pending traffic violations, the Special Mobile Magistrate Traffic Court Kashmir has announced Lok Adalat for May 11.
As per chalan details, thousands of violators have been asked to address their pending challans. These infractions encompass a wide spectrum of offences with fines ranging from a nominal Rs 100 to Rs 10,000 and beyond per person.
Further, the data showed some violators find themselves with as many as 12, 10 or 9 outstanding challans, signifying recurrent violations of traffic laws. The cumulative sum of fines accrued by these offenders is estimated to run into lakhs.
The Lok Adalat serves as the final recourse for people burdened with multiple pending traffic challans. “Failure to appear on the specified date could result in the drastic measure of recommending the cancellation of vehicle registration certificates (RCs) for the violators,” reads an official public notice, issued by Traffic Police Rural Kashmir.
