Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJuly 22, 2024

East Khasi Hills SP Sylvester Nongtnger on Monday warned to take action against violators of traffic rules and regulations.

In a statement, Nongtnger said there has been a rise in the number of vehicles, both two-wheelers and four wheelers, which are retrofitted with loud exhaust pipes causing noise pollution in the city, especially at unearthly hours causing immense discomfort to the elderly and infirm persons as well as to the young children and others who may require silence.

He said moreover, even after appeals made time and again, vehicles are still seen using unauthorised black/tinted films, blinkers/flash lights and sirens on their vehicle(s) flouting the traffic rules and regulations.

In this regards, the motorists are exhorted to refrain from the aforementioned violations in order to ensure road safety and safe environment for the citizens of Shillong city and others visiting the city, he said while adding that violators shall be penalised as per the provision of law.
