Guwahati: People Assam have expressed disappointment over ‘irrational fines and earthquakes’ imposed on motorists by officials of the state transportation department for “excessive” on the national highway four pathways in the state.
Association of Assam Engineer (AAEA) also urged the transportation department to immediately revise the policy.
The Assam Transport Department has recently started a ‘fine collection’ drive, which amounts to RS 2000 at the same time on the national highway which cites the excess vehicle even in Somenh stretching the marked speed is 40 km per hour.
And this is not only on stretching along the Kaziranga National Park where speed must be regulated due to threats to wild animals.
After protest by people, the chairman of Minister Himanta Bustwa Sarma asked the Minister of Transportation Chandra Mohan Patowary to raise the speed limit of 40 km / h to 60 km / h on the highway and did not impose a fine with the first violation of the speed.
Citizens are brought to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the limitations of the marked speed for the highway.
Samaresh Barman said that the Assam government had to focus on improving road conditions, rather than using a shortcut method to punish the population of a country that had been harassed.
AAEA said that this policy has turned into a ‘generation of income’ scheme on behalf of the initiative to examine road accidents.
The association says that the speed limit specified is too low compared to national standards, which allow private vehicles to move with 100 KMPJ on the NHS and up to 120 KMP.
“When Assam has panelists, high-speed drivers, one must assume that the quality of the four pathways in a state of not in accordance with the sign.
If it is true, why are the travelers forced to pay money at all the toll gate here?” Questioned the President of AAEA Kailash Sarma.
