The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday slammed the State authorities for failing to enforce traffic rules in Ahmedabad city and observed that the people had no fear of the authorities “who have no spine or guts” to regulate traffic violations like over speeding, wrong side driving, irregular parking.
The court also mentioned an accident at a flyover in which an over-speeding car ran over a crowd, killing nine persons in one of the worst accidents in the city.
“Where is the fear of traffic laws? With impunity it is being violated. You don’t do anything. You don’t have guts and spine to enforce the law,” the Division Bench said in an oral observation while hearing a contempt petition on Tuesday.
