Chandigarh, January 21

After four-wheelers, the UT traffic police have now started clamping wrongly parked two-wheelers in the city.

Around 29 two-wheelers parked wrongly in Sector 34 were clamped today.

ASI Sarwan Singh of the Traffic Wing, who had in the recent past clamped a vehicle of Punjab and Haryana High Court and an SUV owned by the husband of a Punjab MLA, led the drive in Sector 34 and clamped two-wheelers.

The police said Sector 34 was one of the sectors where wrong parking was rampant. The situation turned worse when two-wheeler riders also park their vehicles on the roadside, causing traffic jams.

“Two-wheeler riders earlier used to think that they cannot get challaned for wrong parking, However, they will also be penalised for the violation now,” said a police official.

The traffic police in the past have conducted massive challaning drives against parking on roads in various sectors, especially on lanes opposite markets.

A traffic cop said violators were large in number and sometimes, they even fell short of clamps.
