After Delhi and Faridabad, the traffic police in Gurgaon have adopted the idea of clamping the wheels of wrongly-parked vehicles, instead of adopting the con- ventional method of towing them away.
For this, the department has tied up with a private sector company, Jammer, which will provide clamping devices imported from China and man- power to execute the project.
The clamping procedure includes jamming one of the wheels of a wrongly-parked vehicle with a device called Clamp, that renders it motion- less. If the driver tries to move the clamped car, the tyre could get punctured by the nails in the device.
The company workers also paste a sticker on the vehicle, with the name and mobile number of the traffic inspector to be contacted for the release of the vehicle.
To begin with, the traffic police kicked off the project from DLF City, where they have clamped about 245 vehicles in and around Galleria Market in Phase IV since Wednesday.
"We have tied up with a company called Jammer, that has provided us 20 clamps and eight workers to undertake the clamping exercise," he added.
