Chandigarh Police Appeals City Residents to give Priority to Emergency Vehicles

CHANDIGARH: Chandigarh Traffic Police issued clarity that there is no need to panic if traffic rules are violated while giving way to any emergency vehicle in the city. Traffic Police said that there will be no challans will be issued to violators while giving way to emergency vehicles. If someone's challan is deducted, they can contact the traffic police.

According to the information received, it is generally noted that if people commit any traffic violation while giving way to emergency vehicles (ambulance, fire brigade) then they get challan. Dispelling this notion of common people, Chandigarh Police has appealed to the people to give way to emergency vehicles on priority basis without worrying about challan.

It is worth mentioning here that the Chandigarh Traffic Police has clarified that while issuing challans, the police observes irregularities through video footage. If a person is found violating traffic rules while giving way to an emergency vehicle, that vehicle will not be challaned.

Chandigarh Traffic Police has also issued a regular e-mail for this. Police said that if a challan is issued for violating traffic rules while giving way to an emergency vehicle, he can file his complaint at police-command@chd.gov.in. The traffic department will take appropriate action in this matter. Usually the traffic police issue e-challans to those who violate the traffic rules at different light points of the city.
