JAMMU, May 2: Senior National Conference leader Rajesh Gupta today urged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to immediately expand the ongoing 100-day anti-drug campaign to include a full-scale crackdown on road rage, rash driving and habitual traffic offenders.
Addressing to the media persons, Gupta praised the LG for taking tough action against drug peddlers through demolition and seizure of properties, saying the administration has shown it possesses the will and machinery to enforce the law decisively when it chooses.
“The same aggressive approach is urgently needed to tackle what he termed “traffic terror” on the roads of Jammu and Kashmir. Road rage, reckless driving, dangerous overtaking, speeding, intimidation and open traffic hooliganism have made our roads unsafe for ordinary citizens. Every day innocent lives are being put at risk by lawless drivers,” he said.
Gupta asserted that if the administration can wage war against narco networks, it can certainly act with equal force against those spreading fear and chaos on roads.
“The time has come for the LG administration to move beyond selective enforcement and restore discipline on our roads with the same seriousness shown in the anti-drug campaign,” he added.
