Maharashtra Shiv Vahtuk Sena Transport Union, President Haji Arafat Shaikh says, “Every year, during Christmas and New Year celebrations, we discover many cases of accidents; specially drink-driving, rash driving and hit-run.While the efficient police force is always there to monitor such incidences, we have decided to extend additional help to them. Our Karyakartas will assist traffic police during Nakabandis all over the city. Our mission is to ensure a safe, secure and accident-free festive season. This is also our small endeavour to ease the burden on traffic police.”
Maharashtra Shiv Vahtuk Sena Transport Union will keep a tab on all pubs, nightclubs and places in the city where parties will take place. Mr Sharif Deshmukh, Vice President, Maharashtra Shiv Vahtuk Sena, added that, “Maharashtra Shiv Vahtuk Sena Transport Union’s Karyakartas have formed groups of about six to eight people. Every unit will be supervised by a group head and liaise with the police. These groups will monitor incidences of drink-driving and speeding. Riders without helmets will also be checked. With the help of Mumbai Police, they will ensure strict actions against those who will violate the law.These groups will work until sunrise to assure safety in the city”.
Rajas Karnik, who enjoys late night clubbing says, “Drink-drive is defiantly an offensive crime, and this time will be more aggressive and punishable as Maharashtra Shiv Vahtuk Sena through its group of members will be monitoring it along with city cops.”
