VASCO, JULY 25
A brand new tempo belonging to Vasco Traffic police was damaged, after a tree came crashing down on it on Sunday.
It may be recalled that after repeated requests and a patient wait, the Vasco traffic police had received a new tempo to utilise it for lifting two-wheelers, violating parking norms in the port town.
However, the vehicle was damaged, after a tree came crashing on it even before it could be utilised for the purpose for which it was bought. The Vasco Traffic police was supposed to put the tempo into service from Monday.
“We got it recently after repeated requests and it was to be put into service from Monday, but prior to that, it got damaged on Sunday,” said Traffic PI Darmesh Angle.
Earlier, the Vasco traffic police had tied up with Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) to utilize its vehicle to lift the two wheelers. Since MMC had other obligations, they were not able to allot its vehicle full day for traffic.Traffic police felt that since they needed a full-fledged tempo exclusively to be used for lifting two wheelers, the traffic police demanded to their higher ups and recently got it sanctioned.
