BARAMULLA 17 JULY
Instead of introducing technology with its own fleets of cranes the Baramulla traffic police department is giving huge and hefty amounts as lifting fees to private vehicle towing crane owners.
Just to mint money from the vehicle operators in baramulla one person namely waseem ahmad who owns a towing crane roams through link roads of baramulla and picks away the cars without any reason and is allegedly harassing the Vehicle operators in the name of wrong parking and threatening people to impound their vehicles in order to mint money from vehicle owners.Many vehicle owners in baramulla told that he breaks the center locks of cars and smashes window panes and lifts the vehicles without any reason and charges Rs 500 to Rs 1000 in the name of wrong parking and tells people that he is a traffic police cop they also added that shopkeepers have also warned him not to tow vehicles unnecessarily and there is no authority in baramulla that can strictly check this kind of fleecing in the name of wrong parking by this civilian.
The level of open corruption or virtual extortion in baramulla has reached such an alarming position that the driver of the towing crane namely waseem who poses as traffic police cop without any fear from top brass or administration is operating unbridled threatening vehicle operators to mint money in the name of wrong parking and crane charges.
Meanwhile pleading anonymity, a traffic cop said he has been warned by our department that not to tow vehicles from inner links and from that places where vehicle towing is not allowed but he turns deaf ear towards that and breaks vehicles and lifts them unnecessarily for his self interest in order to mint money and get more crane charges.
Some shopkeepers also said that he lifts Vehicles without any reason from markets and the customers are scared of parking their vehicles on the parking line and space provided by municipal council baramulla as our every customer fears to stop in market for shopping as the arrogant driver also lifts vehicles from the parking space which is provided by district administration they also added that administration should register a case against the accused person as he compels us to face loss by harassing our daily customers.
