In a rare case of a Gail gas engineer being booked for inconveniencing the public, the HSR traffic police has achieved a one-of-a-kind feat. When residents called up the cops to complain that the road in front of Motherhood hospital on Sarjapur Road was dug up and left as it is by Gail Gas, the cops rushed to the place the next day to fix it as traffic movement was badly affected.
The call from the resident came on the morning of January 17. However, the cops acted on this complaint on January 18 when traffic movement was majorly hindered. Therefore, assistant sub inspector Narayanappa C got his people to smoothen the road surface for vehicles to move.
Since the Gail gas officials had run away from their duties, a case is lodged against the supervising engineer of the company. The case is filed under Section 283 of the Indian Penal Code that relates to violation of ‘no parking’ rules.
