Bassi was speaking at the inauguration of the Road Safety Pavilion of Delhi Traffic Police at the India International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan here today.
"Traffic is the prime issue which the public has to face in their daily life. Every citizen including children is affected by this. There is a need to develop traffic discipline in each and every residents of the city," he said.
"Traffic violations such as disobeying stop-line, jumping red lights, etc. Should be given special attention. Traffic Policemen need to check and prosecute two wheelers drivers/ pillion riders for not wearing helmets on residential streets itself, so that nobody can come on road without wearing helmet. Also helmet should be properly strapped to avoid any mishap," he said.
