New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) With the new increased traffic violation penalties in full swing in India, the Madhya Pradesh police have started a new initiative for traffic violators.
The new initiative started by the traffic police in Bhopal is asking riders caught without helmets to write a 100-word essay explaining the reason for not wearing the headgear. The new initiative was launched during the Road Safety Week that ended on Friday.
The new move led to some hilarious jokes and memes on Twitter.
A user wrote: “LKG teacher or police?…Indian police is a joke.”
A post read, “I know few ppl who will carry photocopy of essay in their pockets.”
“Would love to see few extraordinary excuses,” a user commented.
A Tweeple remarked: “100 words is very less. Make them write a 1000-word essay and ‘bring-your-own-paper-pen’.”
India Tribune, as an English weekly newspaper, was launched in 1977 in Chicago by its publisher Prashant Shah with a lofty ideal to serve the Asian Indian community in the USA. Over the years, it has grown with all vigor, and now it is being published in three editions – Chicago, New York and Atlanta. India Tribune, a journal of its kind for the family in the USA, has been a household name for many Indians for over three decades with each issue commanding a readership of over 125,000.
