The Court today also heard the submissions of Advocate General Kamal Trivedi with regard to State policies on the proper implementation of traffic rules.
AG Trivedi told the bench that a number of measures have been taken to tackle illegal parking, wrong side driving, helmet-less motorists, etc.
“We have also identified five spots (in Ahmedabad) which are prone to accidents. We have increased vigil there and this will help ensure no fatal accidents take place there,” Trivedi said.
Considering the submissions and also the affidavit placed on record, the Court opined that the government has taken some progressive steps to tackle traffic issues.
“But now everything depends on the citizens and their civic sense. It is for them now to abide by the rules and co-operate with the authorities in implementing the norms,” Justice Shastri observed.
The Court proceeded to ask the authorities to strictly implement the measures in place till January 5 and file a report.
“Let there be a strict vigil for next 15 days or so. We will then again consider this matter,” the bench said while posting the matter for hearing on January 5.
