Summary:
Ghaziabad: The traffic police have launched a special drive against wrongside driving in the city and has issued challans to nearly 500 violators in the past two days. Notably, as compared to the past two days’ drive, the traffic cops have issued only 578 challans for wrongside driving between January and May this year.TOI ran a campaign against wrongside driving last month and highlighted the major spots where this menace is rampant. Of all the traffic violations, we have focused on wrongside driving a lot which is quite prevalent in the city. Wrongside driving is also rampant on the road in front of ALT Centre.People even do not spare flyovers and railway overbridges to cut short their distances. Another such stretch is Meerut road trisection where commuters driving from Hindon Vihar move in the wrong direction towards new bus stand..
