Delhi government to consult traffic police, other stakeholders on new MV Act

India Today  

The Delhi government will have wide consultations with various stakeholders, including the city traffic police, before issuing notification for compounding various offences under the new Motor Vehicle law, which provides for steep fines, said city Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot on Saturday. "Since heavy penalties have been prescribed under the Act after a gap of many years, the compounding notification will be issued with wider consultation with traffic police and other stake holders," Gahlot said in a statement. In case of traffic rules violations, the state being the complainant, the government has to fix the penalty for compounding a traffic offence. The stricter penalties will definitely result in reduction in accidents and it will improve the compliance of traffic rules by drivers, he said adding it will have great impact on road safety.
