New traffic team in Noida

NOIDA: The traffic police department has formed a team of five mobile marshals who will be equipped with highspeed motorcycles to chase and fine traffic violators in the Gautam Budh Nagar district.

Ganesh Saha, deputy commissioner of police, (traffic) Gautam Budh Nagar, said that the traffic police personnel are mostly deployed only at certain locations which might leave room for violators to escape.

“We have found that some violators try to speed away when officials signal them to stop. There have also been instances wherein violators mock the police personnel after escaping from the spot. In such cases, the mobile marshals will be able to chase the violators and fine them,” he said.

Saha said that as of now, the traffic police has 20 high-speed motorcycles.
