STP caution drivers on placing stones under car tyres

Shillong, Sep 2: The Shillong Traffic Police (STP) stated that it has observed many vehicles, especially commercial vehicles are in the habit of placing stones on their car tyres while parking.

“Later, such stones are not removed, which invariably becomes vulnerable and hazardous to other road users/pedestrians leading to accidents. Besides, it also causes obstruction to the free flow of vehicular traffic which is an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act,” the STP stated.

The STP has request drivers to avoid such negligence for the safety of other road users/pedestrians.

“It is requested that if anyone is seen violating the above, they may kindly inform the matter along with the details of the vehicle by contacting the Police Control Room, Shillong or Dial 100 / 0364-2215427 / 0364-2222277 or send WhatsApp to 60091-96479 for taking necessary action.
