Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Governor B.L. Joshi Wednesday directed the state police to ensure no unnecessary traffic restrictions or diversions are imposed during his movement on the roads, said sources in the Raj Bhavan.
In a letter to Director General of Police Karamveer Singh, Joshi said unnecessary traffic restrictions imposed by the police during his movement outside Raj Bhavan cause problems for the public, so these should not be imposed taking into account the common man’s comfort.
Significantly, when Joshi was on his way to the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) last week, a motorcyclist came in the way of the governor’s convoy. Later, the motorcyclist was allegedly manhandled by the police.
Joshi has also sought action against the policemen who had assaulted the motorcyclist.
