Though this system is in place, the challan system will soon be active in whole of the Srinagar city.”
In his message, the SSP said, “Life is valuable and we should take care of it, follow rules and ride two-wheelers and other vehicles carefully. The data indicates that the majority of deaths in Srinagar are of pedestrians.”
