Gurugram, Dec. 12 -- Traffic police intensified action against overloaded goods commercial vehicles as part of its accident prevention drive for winters, officials said on Thursday. Around 2,500 challans were issued between Monday and Wednesday against truck and other vehicle owners transporting materials above the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVM) under the Motor Vehicles Act, said officials. A senior traffic official said the drive was conducted at busy stretches, including Delhi-Jaipur-Gurugram (NH48) and Dwarka expressways, where a maximum number of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) were found violating traffic norms. "Illegal crossings and cuts on busy roads were closed on Monday to prevent any untoward incident. Many times, HGVs are seen taking sharp cuts," said Vikas Verma, public relations officer of Gurugram traffic police. Verma added that multiple illegal cuts identified near Shiv Nadar School in DLF Phase-I, near the Vatika crossover on NH 48 towards Delhi, among others were closed with jersey barriers or metal guardrails. Officials said around 303 challans were issued during the first week of December over dangerous U-turns. "A sensitisation drive is underway with truck associations to follow traffic safety norms, including driving at permissible speed limits. Our zonal officers have been directed to install reflective tapes on vehicles, especially on high-speed corridors," Verma said, adding that stringent action will be taken against trucks parking illegally along the expressways' edges of the roads. As part of the National Lok Adalat at the District Court complex, a special help desk will be launched on Friday to facilitate the settlement of pending traffic challans. Chief judicial magistrate and authority secretary Rakesh Kadian said that the help desk will be available to the public free of charge....
