Bhopal:
Government laws and regulations are destined to be the same for everyone, but what happens when those responsible for openly enforcing them?
In a shocking revelation, Madhya Pradesh police have been found to make fun of traffic regulations, such as operational vehicles without registration certificates or types of types.
If a common citizen is found that drives a two -wheeled vehicle or vehicle without a physical conditioning certificate, he or she is penalized with a fine that varies from RS 2,000 to RS 5,000, and RS 10,000 for a repeated criminal. However, the State Police Force, in charge of defending the Motorized Vehicle Law, operates its own fleet without complying with such rules.
Kishore Kumar, a police driver for 38, said: “I have never seen any document for our vehicles. Asked.”
Undoubtedly, the Motorized Vehicle Law does not require vehicles owned by the central and state government, used for non -connected purposes with any commercial companies, to have insurance.
The vajra vehicle, designed to handle riots, fights and violence, is in terrible conditions. Its seats and board require maintenance, but continues to work. The assistant sub -inspector Ram Prasad said: “They say the work is ongoing.”
Tata Somos is no longer available in the car market, but is still on active duty for the police. When we question his presence in the police control room, the Ramakant police said: “The senior officers will say.”
In addition, the crane that tow the vehicles of the traffic rule offenders is in poor condition. Its barely open windows, the doors do not close correctly and the physical conditioning certificate is missing.
Agent Shiv Kumar said: “I don’t know about documents and physical aptitude. In some way, physical aptitude should be handled. There are no papers for the vehicle.”
A police personnel assigned to one of those cranes affirmed with confidence that all documents are in order, but when it is questioned, he gave vague answers. Agent Shyam Singh commented: “We have all the documents … there is insurance. If the engine is good, the vehicle is in shape … find me when you are free.”
The question remains: who will assume the responsibility of ensuring that those who impose the law comply with themselves and ensure that all documents are instead?
Police Commissioner Harinarayanchari Mishra said: “Compensation is granted according to judicial orders. Police vehicles are not insured at the state level, and the aptitude is not compromised.”
Rajendra Upadhyay, District Prosecutor’s Office, said: “Government vehicles are exempt, but if an accident occurs due to driver’s fault, the driver is the responsibility of the driver. If the vehicle was being used for the official service, the government intervenes. ”
SC Tripathi, General Directorate of Police (DGP) withdrawal, questioned exemptions to government vehicles.
“If common citizens must ensure their vehicles, why not the police? The government saves money avoiding insurance but pays compensation when necessary. If the courts begin to enforce the largest payments, the government can rethink its position “, said.
In the last year, dozens of traffic accidents that involve government vehicles throughout the state have been reported. The victims face long compensation battles, while the police continue to operate without responsibility.
