Srinagar, Oct 17: The Srinagar traffic police have raised concerns over unregulated operations by minibus operators, warning that their practices could lead to severe traffic chaos within the city.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Traffic City, Ajaz Ahmad Bhat said some operators are introducing routes from other districts into city limits without proper authorization. “These operators are running their fleets without any regulation and are often seen switching routes at will,” he said.
Meanwhile, officials have asked operators to submit detailed information about their fleets to gauge how many minibuses are operating on each route, but many have failed to comply.
Moreover, they say drivers reportedly keep multiple route boards in stock and frequently change routes, making it difficult even for fleet managers to enforce discipline.
SSP Bhat said risks posed by these unregulated practices and urged operators to follow the rules to ensure smooth traffic flow. A video highlighting the issue has been circulated among officials for reference. (KNO)
