“With the help of the CCTV footage, we will be able to find out the trucks responsible for the spillage and accordingly issue fine for creating nuisance and pollution which caused hardship to the people of the port town,” added PI Desai.
“On Tuesday, 10 trucks were fined for violating the norms of transportation,” informed PI Desai.
“We will continue the drive and keep a strict watch on the vehicles which are involved in night transportation of cargo from the
port to other destinations and if we find any truck responsible for any type of spillage, we will not hesitate to seize the vehicle besides issuing fine,” added Police Inspector Desai.
