Director-General and Inspector-General of Police Praveen Sood on Monday instructed the city traffic police not to stop any vehicles for random checks unless in cases of traffic violations or during special drives like drunk driving.
There have been concerns that random checks of vehicles lead to not only harassment of motorists but also traffic snarls on the city streets.
Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has also often reiterated this position. However, random checks of vehicles continue unabated on the city streets.
