Punish cyclists

This refers to a news report, “HC asks police of possible action against cyclists going off track" (Chandigarh Tribune, October 16). This is a common scene. Despite the existence of cycle tracks, cyclists and rickshaw-pullers can be seen commuting on main roads. Convention says that these people must be punished as they come in the way of fast-moving vehicles on the road and pose a threat to the lives of motorists. Keeping this in mind, separate cycle tracks were constructed. If motorists can be punished for driving on cycle tracks, why not cyclists be punished for riding on main roads?
