Traffic police penalise motorists for parking illegally

Eastern Mirror Desk
Dimapur, Oct. 23: At least 30 persons were penalised by the Dimapur traffic police for parking their motorcycles in parking zones meant for four-wheelers at Nyamo Lotha road in Dimapur on Oct. 23.

The officer in-charge of Dimapur traffic police, zone-I, L Mhathung Patton, told Eastern Mirror that Dimapur traffic police will continue to monitor wrong parking in Nyamo Lotha road until the system is practiced by everyone.

“We have designated parking spaces for two-wheelers but they violated the rule by parking in the four-wheeler parking zone. So in order to teach them a lesson we did this today. Until and unless they come to terms with the system, this will go on,” Patton said.

Stating that one motorcycle can create a lot of space constraint when parked in four-wheeler zone, the officer said that no defaulter would be freed without being penalised.
