Amritsar, December 20

With the cold wave and dense fog engulfing the district, the chances of road mishaps have increased. The absence of reflectors further adds to the problem.

Concerned over this, the traffic police have started pasting radium stickers behind heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks, besides old vehicles, tractor-trailers, auto-rickshaws and horse carts.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dhruman Nimbale said the drive was also aimed at educating people, especially vehicle drivers, about the importance of using parking lights and reflectors in order to prevent road mishaps.

A number of vehicles, especially tractor-trailers, which are plying on city roads don’t have any reflectors. During dense fog, they are difficult to spot, especially those parked on the roadsides.
