Thoubal, November 09 2023:
A combined team of Deputy Commissioner Thoubal and Thoubal Police Station detained two tractors at Thoubal Police Station which tried to drive out to the National Highway violating the directives issued by Thoubal DC on November 4 .
The two tractors with their tyres laden with mud were trying to drive out to the National Highway against the directive that no farmers shall utilise any part of the paved road for threshing paddy and that owners/drivers of farm vehicles should compulsorily remove mud from the tyres before driving out to the main road.
The notification mentioned that a large number of farm vehicles are dropping mud from the fields on paved roads thereby causing damage to public property and violating road safety.
The directive was issued considering the safety of all and to avoid unwanted outcomes.
Later, the detained tractors were released after advising the owners of the tractors to ensure that such acts do not recur.
