Mr Vikas Arora SP Sirsa said that the traffic reforms started some times back in Sirsa was not a temporary effort, these reforms have brought significant change in the situation of traffic in Sirsa. He agreed that due to ongoing Dera-Sikhs row, traffic reforms did take a back seat for a while as the priority of the Police had to be shifted to maintaining law and order and peace in Distt Sirsa at every cost. However he said even during this phase traffic cops did their job well and in fact several lakhs of Rupees have been collected as Challaning fine from traffic offenders. He said that he does not wish that such revenue in the form of fines collected from traffic offenders increases in future, in reality he wishes that people develop a better road sense so that they are not booked and fined for traffic offenses.

Talking to Sirsa News he said that he is keen to introduce some kind of publication to be introduced in all the schools regarding Road Safety, so that the young minds get the safety lessons at an early age. He said the process of identifying road engineering defects is also continuing and the same are also being rectified. The slip roads at the Traffic Lights Chowk (Tau Devi Lal Town Park) are also almost ready for use; this will ease traffic build up at the Chowk, as the left turns can be freely taken via slip roads. Incidently this was the first ever suggestion from SIRSA NEWS to the SP on his very first interface with the Sirsa Press, at that time he had promised that the same is in public welfare and shall be carried out. The SP said that there is proposal of setting up of traffic lights at Sangwan Chowk (Guru Gobing Singh Chowk) as well. Sirsa News suggested developing training park at Sirsa, the SP said he is serious about this also although this is not in the purview of the POLICE department but he shall impress upon the Civil Departments to explore such possibility, but already at the Police Community centers Multimedia based PC have been installed and anyone can come over on Sundays to get the advantage of Multimedia and PowerPoint shows to polish his or her driving skills.
