Dharamshala Police Issues 218 Challans for Illegal Parking
Imagine that a police force in a place called Dharamshala is trying to make the roads safer.
They noticed that a lot of cars were parked in spots where they shouldn't be, like along the side of the road, which makes it hard for other cars and people to get around safely.
So, they gave out 218 tickets to cars that were parked illegally in just one day!
This is especially a problem in a busy place called McLeodganj, where the roads are small, and many people walk around.
The police are using cameras to catch people who park illegally and give them tickets, and sometimes they even take away their cars or take other legal action.
Kangra District Police issued 218 challans for illegal parking in a 24-hour drive.
The crackdown targeted vehicles parked along roads, especially in high-traffic areas.
Police noted haphazard parking disrupts traffic flow and poses safety risks.
McLeodganj, a tourist hub, faces increased traffic strain due to narrow roads and foot traffic.
Offenders are penalized through challans, vehicle seizure, and other legal actions.
