Kolkata: Accp traffic throughout the city has begun to call two-wheeled riders for hearings that will determine the temporary suspension of their license.
About 800 motorcyclists have been called.
The police are looking for an explanation from offenders why their license will not be suspended for three months for triple-riding and not wearing a helmet.
“We give offenders to defend themselves.
This is a standard procedure adopted even for dangerous drinking and driving,” explained a senior officer.
This is the first time in the city that the process of suspending temporary licenses has begun because it does not comply with the basic rules under the newly changed law.
Most of the traffic guards despite stating that some violators who were summoned on Monday had missed the trial quoting Covid clauses.
“Some of them stated that they would attend the trial only after the Covid situation increased further,” said an officer.
On Saturday and Sunday, the police demanded 289 bikers for Triple Riding (MV ACT 128) and 547 (MV ACT 129) because they did not wear a helmet.
The enabled law states that RS 1,000 fines will be collected and the license will be suspended for the next three months.
Several sergeants said they were waiting to ascertain whether the summons format would remain the same as before (citing the Supreme Court command) or the new must be compiled (following the MV action that was changed).
Lalbazar has asked all senior police officers to offer several opportunities (up to three notices) for those accused of presenting themselves before the police after that the decision will be ratified without compliance with order.
DC (traffic) Arijit Sinha said they had developed a strong mechanism to track offenders.
Police sources said special raids were carried out on important crossings such as Rajabazar, Girish Park and Park Circus.
The maximum violation is reported from the East Guard, Park Circus Guard, Seatah Guard and Guard marker.
