Ludhiana, May 2, 2025: Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma on Friday declared eights roads of city now will be ‘No Tolerance roads” for smooth traffic flow.
Starting the drive from Dandi Swami Chowk, the Commissioner of Police stated that the designated roads are Field Ganj Road (Jagraon Bridge to Civil Hospital, both sides), Rahon Road (Jodhewal Chowk to Jangirpur Road cut), Bhamia Road (New Onkar Vihar cut to Bhamia Colony cut), Chandigarh Road (Government High School, Mundian to 33 Ft. Road vegetable market), Chimney Road (Canal Bridge, Pakhowal to Indoor Stadium, both sides), Dugri Road (Atam Park to Libra cut, both sides), Dandi Swami Chowk to DMC Hospital.
Commissioner Sharma emphasized that these roads will serve as model roads with zero tolerance for traffic violations. "Our goal is to enhance the commuting experience and ensure swift access for emergency services like ambulances and fire brigades," he added. To support this, the Ludhiana Police, in collaboration with the Municipal Corporation, have cleared encroachments and marked roads with white and yellow lines for clarity. Each road will have a dedicated in-charge to monitor compliance and address violations on-site.
Sharma stated that the police will serve three show-cause notices to the violators at first and later, it will register FIR. He also informed that dedicated in-charges will have to ensure these roads remain free of encroachment and wrong parking and will continue to review the situation after 10-days. He also urged shopkeepers to keep goods within their premises and assured that street vendors would be relocated to designated areas.
The initiative, effective immediately, is backed by a robust Emergency Response System (ERS) integrating a central command-and-control center with wireless units, PCR vans, and patrol bikes for rapid enforcement.
The Police Commissioner appealed for public cooperation, particularly from shopkeepers and residents, to sustain the initiative and make Ludhiana’s roads safer and more efficient.
