Leh, Jan 29: As part of the ongoing Road Safety Month–2026, the Traffic Police Ladakh, under the overall supervision of the SSP Traffic UT Ladakh, launched a special traffic enforcement and awareness drive in Leh town the other day. The initiative was aimed to enhance road safety and ensure strict compliance with traffic rules across the region.
The special drive focused on checking key safety requirements such as High Security Registration Plates (HSRP), valid Registration Certificates (RC), and mandatory seat belt usage. Officials stated that these measures are essential components of vehicular safety and lawful road use, with the objective of reducing road accidents and promoting responsible driving behavior among commuters.
The drive was led by Dy. SP Traffic Leh, Ms. Kunzes Dolma (JKPS), who informed that traffic enforcement squads across Leh have been instructed to establish special nakas at strategic locations. These checkpoints will be set up on major highways as well as internal roads to effectively monitor and curb traffic violations.
Ms. Dolma emphasized that the enforcement is being carried out in a systematic and uniform manner to ensure public safety without causing inconvenience to law-abiding citizens.
She further noted that since the inception of Traffic Police Ladakh, the department has consistently enforced traffic laws, issued challans to violators when necessary, and simultaneously spread awareness about road safety norms. Such special drives, she reiterated, are aimed not only at enforcement but also at educating road users about the importance of following traffic regulations for their own safety and that of others.
The Traffic Police Ladakh has appealed to all vehicle owners and drivers to cooperate with traffic personnel, comply with mandatory safety requirements, and contribute towards making Ladakh’s roads safer for everyone.
