Kolkata: The Kolkata Traffic Police has decided to conduct checks on rogue bikers at 15 additional points across the city. This is in addition to the 26 spots on major thoroughfares that cops are already on vigil to check speeding bikers.
Apart from preventing accidents and flouting of traffic rules, police are also attempting to stop biker gangs from creating panic in neighbourhoods at night and stop illegal parking near pandals.
An officer claimed that in the past 24 hours cops have fined 3,010 two-wheelers, said DC (Traffic) Yeilwad Shrikant Jagannathrao.
Earlier, puja organisers had complained about illegal parking of bikes that not only blocked the road in front of pandals, but also blocked access to homes in its neighbourhoods.
