Rakesh Jaggi has sent another mail where he talks vehicles with tinted glasses. He says, “I would like to emphasise that the private vehicles with tinted glasses must be punished severely. It is very obvious that most of the people using these vehicles take advantage of the non-strictness of the police force for committing different type of criminal acts. I feel very sad and disappointed with the authorities to see these cars plying on the road without any hesitation and committing their wrongdoings. “Let us take this subject very seriously and with loud and clear words at all levels. The authorities must catch the vehicle and note the complete details with immediate cleaning of the dark foils or confiscation of vehicle. I have seen the occupants of these tinted or blackened vehicles waste no time in making mockery of the rules and regulations. Most of the people having these vehicles have premeditated notions and execute the same. “The authorities must not excuse any particular individual to have these black glasses and it should be for one and all. I am sure you will agree with me for immediate and urgent action for this type of problem.” I agree fully with you regarding this matter. Traffic Police should launch a special drive to check these vehicles.Meanwhile, everything has gone fine for the traffic police officials till now. The trade fair was a success, they also have tackled marriage problem, but have you ever thought about the plight of lower constabulary of traffic police. On Sunday night I met few constables at Andheria Mod. I was very touched by the way they were working. One told me that for the past three days they were coming on duty at 5 am and were working till 12.30 at night. And Sunday being the D-day for them, they were not sure when they were going home. One constable had stiches on his eye and he told me that he was supposed to have got them cut on Saturday. But he didn’t get the time to go to the doctor. Another jokingly mentioned that they have to attend the call of nature during duty hours only as their reporting time is very early in the morning. Well, now you can imagine their plight and the circumstances under which they are serving you. So next time you meet them on road, say thank you!
