BHADERWAH, June 12: Police today launched a drive against stunt bikers here today, fining 34 of them and seizing 16 motorcycles.
Brijesh Sharma, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Bhaderwah said that the drive was launched after a group of unruly bikers were reported performing stunts near the Government Girls Higher Secondary School every morning and evening, despite police deployment in the area.
“Involvement of two wheeler riders is often found in cases of harassing girls and other pedestrians and driving without helmet on the busy roads. We noticed that such cases usually peak at school hours when the roads are crowded. As a result, we decided to step up our drives against these unruly stunt bikers”, he added.
“We have challaned 34 bikers today and seized 16 bikes, most of them are involved in stunt biking, the complaint of whom we have been receiving for past sometime. The special drive against the violators will continue in the interest of common public”, SDPO stated.
“Our main motive is to take action against the violators and simultaneously also make them and others aware about the traffic rules. My appeal to the parents is that they should not allow underage girls to ride scotties that too without helmets”, SDPO said.
It is to mention that a stunt biker hit a 12th class student on June 1 outside Government Girls Higher Secondary School, triggering massive protest by the girls against road romeos and stunt bikers, demanding stern action from police against these bikers.
