The Next time you feel the urge to flout a traffic rule, think twice. In addition to the traffic cops keeping a lookout, the Delhi government's transport department will also be waiting to nab you. In a move that is aimed at strengthening the enforcement wing of the transport department, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday flagged off 35 vehicles, which will have six officers each to keep an eye on traffic violators.
The vehicles will remain on roads at strategic points and officers will have the power to take action under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
" These vehicles are a red signal for violators and a step to further contain incidents of over- speeding and accidents. This will go a long way in the strict enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Act and book offenders and take immediate and appropriate action," said Dikshit.
The officials of the transport department are empowered to carry out all that the traffic police do and more.
