With traffic snarls owing to illegal parking of vehicles becoming the order of the day in the town, the police have initiated firm action against illegal vehicular parking on busy roads, inter-sections, lanes and the crowded bus station premises.
As an initial step, the traffic police have started to impose petty fine on owners of vehicles found parked in unauthorised slots. A team of traffic police led by Circle Inspector Ramesh pasted stickers, mentioning the fine amount, on the front and rear glass panes of the erring vehicles.
The vehicle owners can deposit the fine amount either with the Kasaragod Town police station, Vidyanagar police station, or the traffic police. In case of default, the traffic police will pass over the contact number of the vehicle owner to the Regional Transport Office. The erring persons will have to approach the court to deposit the fine, official sources said here on Monday.
