The fatal accident in Dwarka on Wednesday morning has once again exposed police's failure to rein in trucks and other heavy vehicles. However, the cops still claim they are doing everything to curb the menace. "We try to control these trucks once they enter the city, and have strict guidelines for them," said additional commissioner of police (traffic), Anil Shukla.
Traffic officials said teams have been formed to check the entry of these vehicles into the city and the drivers are put through a short training session to inform them about the city's rules. But TOI found that the drivers speed up once they cross a traffic check-post and try to deliver their cargo and leave within the night to save time.
Experts say the truck drivers have no fear of the law. S P Singh of the Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training said the only way to control them is to implement strict norms.
After the Supreme Court laid down that no interstate goods vehicle should pass through Delhi or New Delhi, these vehicles were allowed to pass through only from 9pm to 10am. However, sources said, sometimes interstate trucks are allowed to enter early as Gurgaon police let them through. In the morning, the truck drivers headed towards Gurgaon are in a hurry to cross the border before the deadline.
A transportation expert told TOI that truck drivers flout rules because they are under tremendous strain, often driving more than 500km in a day. Of the 1,693 road fatalities in the city last year, nearly 70% involved "unknown" vehicles that, police say, are likely to be dumpers and trucks.
