Sirsa Congress’s Traffic Revolt: Accusations Fly Amidst Challan Chaos
The Congress party in Sirsa staged a fiery protest on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, against what it termed the rampant misuse of traffic challans by the local police. Protesters alleged widespread harassment and extortion through excessive fines.
Despite repeated requests, party representatives were denied a meeting with the Superintendent of Police. Frustrated by the lack of response, protesters tore up a memorandum detailing their grievances.
The memorandum highlighted instances of what the Congress termed “unnecessary and unjustified” fines levied on motorists. The party demanded an immediate end to this alleged practice.
Further protests were threatened if the police administration doesn’t address their concerns and take corrective action. Public reaction to the protest has been mixed, with opinions sharply divided on the validity of the Congress’s claims.
This incident underscores growing public concern over police conduct and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the enforcement of traffic regulations across Haryana. The potential for further escalation warrants close monitoring.
