JAMMU, Dec
14: One side
the traffic police to aware to the masses are erecting innumerous sign boards
within the city which unanimously depicts for the obedience of Traffic rules,
But on the other side despite been listed as taboo the usage of sound systems
in the public transports is in its full swing under the nose of traffic
authorities.
It is pertinent to mention here that as per the traffic Rules in Jammu and Kashmir the use of any sound systems is prohibited in the passenger vehicles and is punishable under article R 305/177 but by mean of collusion normally termed as (Entry) paid by drivers to the traffic police the prohibition is being violated in the mini buses, buses and other passengers vehicles dauntlessly.
The mini bus and bus drivers use sound systems at high base which creates noise pollution and also threat for the lives of passengers as many of the times accidents occurred due to diversion of driver concentration towards the music instead of driving.
Also they use to play vulgar songs in their vehicles which are an open violation of human rights as the women traveling in the same vehicle fells unsafe and become red faced with shame and inferiority complex.
Most of these mini bus and bus operators play the songs during the school/college going time in the morning and during their closing time at day when most of the vehicles are jam-packed with the girl students. They even don’t hesitate to play vulgar songs during these hours which is equal to the eve teasing on both legal and moral grounds.
A long ago traffic police had tightened his noose over this menace and used to crush the tape recorder recovered from the vehicle which had really mitigated this menace upto a great extent but now the in connivance between the drivers and traffic police has amplified this.
One can easily notice the matador operators using tape recorders fearlessly on almost all the local routes i.e Shastri Nagar, Trikuta Nagar, Bari Brahmana.
Shelli Surya, a MBBS Scholar expresses, “the use of stereo in the mini busses have became common now a days’ despite of the fact that the number of accidents are increased on large in past few months specially in the hilly highway but the rampant violation is on since it had been scheduled taboo with provision of punishment under traffic rules.
Traffic officials who always remains in search of traffic rules violators, surprisingly becomes duff and dumb to this brazen violation of traffic norm which now have became a menace, she quipped.
Sonia Bakshi one of the university student said that the recreational use of sound Systems in the mini busses is ok at some extent but at some cases for most of the girls traveling in the mini buses have became embarrassing as the songs being played in the vehicles are vulgar and upto some extent abusive too.
She further said that the mushrooming of adult and abusive singers like Honey Singh has made the traveling of girls in the passenger’s vehicles more difficult as the drivers deliberately use to play the songs of these singers without any shame and fear of traffic police.
